  Several years ago, a series of documents were discovered in the dusty archives of the library at [REDACTED] College. They seemed to detail certain events leading up to the fire that destroyed the Colin Malatrat Museum of Curious Oddities and Strange Antiquities. These documents were assembled and published in an attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the museum's destruction. 
  This second edition contains previously unpublished narratives, a newly restructured format, and an annotator's introduction to the second edition. If you have any information regarding the fire, or the whereabouts of any of the narrators, please contact the publisher of this book.

  Together for the first time, the complete Bewdley trilogy will alter your imagination as it details the strange, dark happenings in a rural Ontario town.The Hellmouths of Bewdley is a series of 16 stories hiding in a novel about a small town in Ontario’s cottage country. Navigating through drunk and dead men, prisons and suicides and mad doctors, these short stories act as a halfway house for literary delinquents. Pontypool Changes Everything is the terrifying story of a devastating virus. Caught through conversation, once it has you, it leads you into another world where the undead chase you down the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities.  In Caesarea, everybody’s embarrassed and nobody is mentioning the mess. Caesarea, you see, is the town that can’t get to sleep at night. Only Burgess demands answers to the really big question: Who’s been sleeping in your bed? With a preface by Jonathan Ball.Praise for Tony Burgess “These stories are universally dark and not for the timid or prudish. A subtle horror invades the fine writing; intimate biological details of violent death are revealed in a manner that suggests Stephen King having a confidential chat with Hieronymus Bosch in the north woods. What Burgess reveals is that the dark edges of humanity we stereotypically equate with the urban are present and even more threatening in areas with no 911 service.” —Quill & Quire on The Hellmouths of Bewdley “Pontypool Changes Everything may be one of the most genuinely horrifying horror novels—as opposed to simply discomforting, sickening or terrifying, although it is all of these as well—that I have ever read.” —Horrorscope
