  An outlandishly funny, unambiguously bloody novel about fame, love, religion, politics, and appetite
  		 
  It is one thing to die, alone and confused, trapped with your pants down around your ankles in the filthiest bus restroom in existence. It’s quite another thing to wake up during the autopsy, attack the coroner, and flee into the wintry streets of Toronto.
  		 
  It’s not like Sheldon Funk didn’t have enough on his plate. His last audition, for the reality television series House Bingo, had gone disastrously wrong. His mother was in the late stages of dementia. His savings were depleted, his agent couldn’t care less, and his boyfriend was little more than a nice set of abs. Now, Sheldon also has to contend with decomposition, the scent of the open grave, and an unending appetite for human flesh. Plus another audition in the morning.
  		 
  For Sheldon to survive his death without literally falling apart at the seams, he has to find a way to balance family, career, and cannibalism, which would be a lot easier if he could stop eating hoboes. Husk, the story of the everyzombie.

  Here are three stories that will make you chuckle and shiver at the same time. Spirits can be funny when they turn out to have issues and problems of their own, and the authors of these stories, John Kendrick Bangs and H. G. Wells, have a fine time putting smiles on our faces - and wiping them off again!"The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall"What do you do about a ghost who is both terrifying and exasperatingly damp? After all, even if a fellow has to spend his Christmas Eve entertaining a ghost that turns all his rooms into masses of humidity, does he have the right to some say in the matter? And if he does not, well, there are ways of dealing with damp ghosts that might not be obvious to everyone. John Kendrick Bangs gives us his chuckling take on that in this classic story."The Mystery of my Grandmother's Hair Sofa"John Kendrick Bangs turns his attention to another difficult question of ghostly etiquette: What happens when you are looking forward to meeting a ghost, and it decides not to show up - or maybe it did appear after all? And how would you know? Bangs lets us know just what to expect from such as situation."The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost"Then we join H. G. Wells, who poses a somewhat more serious question: If you meet a ghost that doesn't seem to know what it is doing, should you try to follow it home? And if you do, just where would home be, and just how would you get there? In this story, he combines elements of science fiction, the supernatural, and the comic ghost tale to create a fascinating and many-layered narrative. The men who experience the events in his story argue, scientifically, about whether the afterlife is real, whether ghosts exist, and whether human beings can visit the afterlife while alive - and if so, just how it might be done. Then, in classic H. G. Wells fashion, someone tries to take the journey.Hearing Voices? Don't miss the rest of the Voices of the Ghost series!

  "Rio’s tales do more than just entertain and unnerve, they articulate and connect us to some sunken knowledge within, where the shadows are.”--Alan Warner, Booker Prize Nominated Novelist 
  Asian mythology and folk tales crossed with the supernatural horror of Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and Arthur Machen! 
  Drawing on local folk tales of vengeful banshees, dusk-dwelling monsters, ghouls hiding in the woods, and other forms of the undead, this collection transports listeners to the darkest abyss where demons forever reside: the human mind. 
  A woman goes missing a week before her wedding. A man recalls his nightmarish encounter with the devil. Letters sent from beyond the grave. A phone call from deceased loved ones. Limbs that have a mind of their own. 
  These ghostly tales of revenge, greed, and desperation writhe and squirm in the dark corners of modern-day Indonesia. Rich in cultural undertones that are uniquely Asian combined with classic horror. These stories are equal parts grotesque and poetic, irreverent and spiritual, unusual and universal. 
  Revised and expanded including 3 brand new stories!

  In this chilling gothic masterpiece, masked revelers confront a spectral embodiment of Death himself as a terrible plague rips through the population beyond the palace walls.  
  One of Poe's most enduringly popular stories, 'The Masque of the Red Death' blends symbolism, allegory and haunting imagery to turn the blood cold. This is Poe at his most vivid - and also his most sinister.
