  "Abnormal Statistics takes us on a desolate walking tour of the everyday American nightmare. Come see what’s happening behind the closed doors and shuttered windows of your neighbors, your best friends, the people you trust most. Bleak and bloody horror that’s as raw and immediate as a pile of yellowed teeth, roots and all." 
  —​Trevor Henderson, creator of Siren Head 
  "A tightly written and devastating collection. Abnormal Statistics grabs the reader by the throat with each tale, from the stellar opener 'Indiana Death Song' to the harrowing 'Video Nasties.' Throughout the collection, Booth performs a sort of emotional autopsy that's impossible to look away from, even as we're handed our own viscera to hold. Horror, sorrow, fury and dark humor are woven throughout with an expert hand, and by the end, it hurt more of my feelings than I ever knew I possessed."  
  —​Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below 
  Suburban decay, familial horror, bleak lullabies. Abnormal Statistics is the debut story collection from Max Booth III.  
  Bad times are waiting for you.  
  Featuring 10 reprints and 3 stories original to this collection (including a brand-new novella called "Indiana Death Song").

  A buried treasure and a cat fishing tournament where the winners are predestined come together in the Unis Shellington IV's  hysterically funny novella "Channel Cats".  Based in northern Louisiana Terrence Ida (fisherman extraordinaire) invites he new 'best friend' Newby to join him in the upcoming cat fishing tournament on Manassas Brown Bayou.  Beatrice (treasure hunter extraordinaire) invites Newby to join her search of F. I. P. (workstation for all, a mid-sized machine shop) for 'Hap's Money', a pile of loot he was accused of stealing over twenty years ago.  These two facets of Newby's life (treasure hunting and cat fishing) are both blended together, and on a collision course within Unis's tale, one that will have you laughing out loud as Beatrice and Terrence lead Newby on their own far-fetched adventures.

  Much like his stories for children, Vsevolod Garshin's grownup prose may not always be easy to read due to difficult subject matter he tends to pick for his narratives. It is, however, always beautifully written and fascinating.

  Saki was the pen-name of Hector Hugh Munro. One of the wittiest of all short-story writers, he was born in 1870 in Burma where his father, a Scots army officer, was stationed. He was one when the family returned to England to live in North Devon. When his mother died his father, returning to serve in India, put Hector and his brothers and sisters into the care of his own mother and two sisters. The children’s childhood with their aunts was miserable. The aunts hated each other, quarrelled fiercely, and bullied the children mentally. They saw little of other children, and Hector’s main enjoyment was drawing. After some tuition with a governess he went to school in Exmouth, and later to Bedford Grammar School. In 1886 his father retired . A kindly man, he took the children to Normandy, to Dresden, to Prague , and to Davos, where they rode, climbed and played tennis, and Hector took lessons in pastel from a painter of birds of prey. As a young man, Hector went as a Police Official to Burma, but returned after two years, made ill by the climate. Recovering, he became a political correspondent for the Morning Post, living in the Balkans, in Warsaw, in Petersburg, and in Paris. He also began publishing the entertaining short stories that made him famous. In 1908 he settled in London, writing stories, playing bridge, and enjoying theatre and ballet. When the Great War broke out he enlisted in the ranks. On 14th November 1916, crouching with others in a shallow muddy shell-crater before an attack on Beaumont Hamel, he was heard to shout ‘Put that bloody cigarette out’ A moment later he was shot through the head.This volume includes four of his best loved stories: "The Man on the Hill", "The Cobweb", "The Interlopers", and "The Hounds of Fate", read by Patrick Barlow.Patrick has appeared on stage nationwide in such productions as Loot and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and his many television appearances include The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole and Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV, but he is probably best known for creating the character of Desmond Oliver Dingle, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of The National Theatre of Brent, that amazing two-man company which has presented on stage and television such productions as Charge of The Light Brigade, Zulu, The Messiah, and The Greatest Story Ever Told.
