In Tooth and Claw - Tales of Horror and The Supernatural

Dan Soule

Summary

If dreams come true, then so do nightmares. Especially when demons hide - and devour - in plain sight, or the wrong psychopath is recruited for their dream job. When a telephone rings for a forgotten boy in an old red telephone box, or when the sinister origin of a curse is locked within a children's nursery rhyme, then the horror will follow you darkly into your dreams. And it will still be there when you wake.

Praise for the author:

"Dan Soule is a cinematic writer - a master at focusing the reader's attention on the seemingly mundane details of a setting as he steadily builds the mood of his narrative from a whisper of uneasiness to a crescendo of full-blown cosmic horror" - Paul Guernsey, Editor & Publisher of The Ghost Story.

“Dan Soule crafts characters that feel so authentic, so real, they become part of you. When he puts them through the ringer, you’re not just scared for them, you’re scared for yourself. His stories aren’t just guaranteed to scare you, they’re guaranteed to devastate you.”

Caitlin Marceau, Editor & Publisher, Sanitarium Magazine.

"A Dan Soule story is a treat, which makes this collection a feast. He knows how to grab you from the beginning, keep you guessing through a tight and fast-paced narrative, then give you the ending you need but maybe didn't want. Dark, compelling, and engaging throughout, you won't want to miss these excellent tales of horror."

Joel Caris, Editor & Publisher, Into the Ruins.

Hope and Other Stories

Laura Hird

A “bloody, believable and intoxicating” collection of short stories by the acclaimed author of Born Free (The Herald, UK).   Laura Hird became one of the most exciting new voices in Scottish literature with her Whitbread Award-shortlisted debut novel, Born Free. Known for pitch-perfect characters dealing with the despair and dysfunction of contemporary life, Hird continues to mine this trademark territory in Hope and Other Urban Tales. Set in the low-rent areas of Edinburgh, Hird’s slices of reality are gritty, bleak and often darkly funny. Yet the possibility of hope, always just out of reach, unifies this collection, conveying that just as circumstances can reveal the morally obscure darkness in ‘good’ people, so can seemingly irredeemable characters harbor well-hidden pockets of humanity.“Hird reminds one of an early Ian McEwan or Iain Banks, deeply unsettling, deathly comic and peculiarly tender.”—Sunday Times, UK“Hird controls her material brilliantly. If you like your fiction with razor blades secreted in the soup, then get this, pronto.”—Scotsman, UK

Night at the Fiestas - Stories

Kirstin Valdez Quade

Set in northern New Mexico, an astonishing, beautifully rendered debut about living in a landscape shaped by love, loss, and violence. 
With intensity, dark humor, and emotional precision, Kirstin Valdez Quade’s unforgettable stories plunge us into the fierce, troubled hearts of characters torn between their desires to escape the past and to plumb its depths. The deadbeat father of a pregnant teenager tries to transform his life by playing the role of Jesus in a bloody penitential Passion. A young man discovers that his estranged father and a boa constrictor have been squatting in his grandmother’s empty house. A young woman finds herself at an impasse when she is asked to hear her priest's confession. 
Always hopeful, these stories chart the passions and obligations of family life, exploring themes of race, class, and coming-of-age, as Quade's characters protect, betray, wound, undermine, bolster, define, and, ultimately, save one another.
