Poisoned Folk TalesA.C. HessenauerPaperbackWhen once upon a time becomes a nightmare … From forgotten forests and haunted halls to modern streets where old superstitions refuse to die, Poisoned Folk Tales gathers 23 chilling stories; some inspired by folklore from around the world, others spawned from the imaginations of some of horror’s finest. Each tale bends familiar pathways, leading us towards something darker and stranger, spanning centuries and continents, because monsters evolve, curses endure, and every story has another twisted ending, waiting to be told. Includes a foreword by Dan Franklin, author of Steel Machines.

Read "Extremely Weird Splatter" featuring my story 'The Copper Merchant"
 
Extremely Weird SplatterL. Andrew CooperEbookSPLATTER THE NORMAL For this book, weird horror isn’t weird enough, and the extreme needs to be more extreme: the nineteen stories in Extremely Weird Splatter take the “quiet” respectability that characterizes a lot of weird fiction these days and fuses it with the elsewhere typically grounded—but very loud—transgressions of the extreme and splatterpunk. The results are messy, fantastic, and nineteen kinds of bizarre and disturbing. Join three Lifetime Achievement Award winners from the top of the horror game along with other decorated veteran authors, rising stars, and emerging talents in deep depravity as skin peels, eyeballs pop, innards become outards, and sex involves… twists… you’ll have to see for yourself. The authors plotting against your wellness are a coalition from different parts of the US and UK as well as from Canada, Costa Rica, India, Ireland, Italy, and Nigeria: Nick Badot, L. Andrew Cooper, JB Corso, Suvajeet Duttagupta, JG Faherty, Angelique Fawns, Tom Johnstone, Leonardo J. Lamanna, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Christine Morgan, Jason Nickey, Monica J. O’Rourke, J. Rohr, C.M. Saunders, Dan Scamell, Steve Rasnic Tem, Vox Villalobos, Maxim Volk, and Etta Wynn. Get a little turned on as a man mutilates himself in search of ultimate pleasure in Faherty’s “The Fishhook Prophecy.” Learn all about the historical process called “Scaphism,” perhaps the worst thing you can do to a person, in O’Rourke’s “Symmetry.” Take a frightening look at human skin with Steve Rasnic Tem in “Dermis.” Explore whether dismemberment and mutilation can help you get closer to God in Lamanna’s “How to Build a Meat Radio.” Explore liminal space that makes nasty connections between past and present through Nickey’s “Portal.” Dive in and get Extremely Weird Splatter all over you. Why be normal?
