Dark Deaths: Selected Horror Fiction
No Customer Reviews
Dark Deaths: Selected Horror Fiction deals with the horror found in the real and the imagined. In this diverse collection, the reader can expect anything from blood-thirsty aliens, a satanic locomotive, possessed dolls and that most monstrous species of human - the serial killer. Many of the stories collected in Dark Deaths have previously been published in various anthologies and magazines, with five brand-new and previously unpublished tales, written especially for this new collection. Included with the stories are Mr Cook's own macabre illustrations that accompany each tale. From the preface: "In Dark Deaths: Selected Horror Fiction, I hope that you find something that resonates with you, the reader. Perhaps one of the stories might make you check the locks on your doors before turning in for the night? Maybe one of the tales in this collection will make you contemplate something you may not have thought about, or wanted to think about, before? You might think twice about keeping the doll that sits in a box in the attic, or take a second look at the guy across the road who sits in his upstairs window watching passersby. Whatever the response, my goal is to get you involved with the story, for you to suspend disbelief, if only for a short while, as you read these tales. Be warned, this is a mixed bag - a distillation of stories written over the course of a number of years - whimsical childhood nightmares sit amongst the bloodied remains of serial murderers and revenant spirits. Each story is a dark death, an epitaph of sorts, as I lay them to rest in this collection."- William Cook. Recommended for fans of Stephen King, Adam Nevill, Dean Koontz, Blake Crouch and Joe Hart
