Synopsis

A startling, witty and downright terrifying collection of 25 short stories from the "21st century's Richard Matheson" (Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman.) Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.
They're feeding on you too.
A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.
From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.
Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror's finest authors.
Disponible depuis: 09/09/2025.
Longueur d'impression: 304 pages.

    That moment in time will come. It will be the end of this life and one of three things will happen.  Nothing, Heaven or Hell.   Somehow, for most people, the odds don’t look so good on laying back in Paradise for eternity.  And we may be there alone or with people we never really liked or―or most probably, we don’t really have any coherent idea at all.  Just the fear that the end is nigh. 
     
    Our literary friends including Edgar Allan Poe, Leo Tolstoy, Mary Shelley and others probably mean well but their job here is to tackle fear head on and we may well end up not getting the answer we first thought of.

    "The Descendant" is a story fragment by H.P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in 1927. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. The story begins with a narrator explaining that he is on his deathbed and feels the need to share a particular story before he dies. He tells of a quiet and slightly mad older man who lives in the Gray's Inn with his pet cat. The man is haggard and haunted, looking older than his years and terrified of church bells. A young man named Williams (the narrator) moves into the Inn and tries to befriend the old man and get him to share his knowledge. It is revealed that the man is Lord Northam of England. Williams' attempts are largely rebuked until one day, Williams acquires a copy of the Necronomicon, the book of the dead that captures the minds of so many intrigued by the dark arts...

    As Sierra and the team dig into the history of the cemetery, she uncovers an astonishing theory involving imprisonment and a ghostly force that is far more powerful and heartbreaking than they anticipated. Gulf Coast Paranormal is on the case, but their investigation leads them to the Vallow home, where they discover that the weeping woman's missing child may be the key to putting her to rest. But as they delve deeper into the case, they realize that they are treading on dangerous ground, and the consequences of their actions could be dire.

    As the Gulf Coast Paranormal team races against time to unravel the truth behind Lucy Vallow's haunting, they must confront their darkest fears and grapple with the dangerous magic that surrounds them.
