Wanted to share some excellent news with you. Wildside Press has just released my new book, HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS. Here is a link to its GoodReads page: Hideous Faces, Beautiful Skulls .

The darkness holds many surprises. In HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS, a collection of thirty stories of horror and the bizarre, you shall enter a boundless realm of night and come close, so very close to those surprises. Close enough to embrace them. Or, they may embrace you....

I am best known for stories that mix humor and horror, such as the tales you will find in my collections, Best Little Witch-House in Arkham and Beach Blanket Zombie: Weird Tales of the Undead and Other Humanoid Horrors . But there is also a darker, more serious side to my work. The best of my darkest stories have been compiled in HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS.

Many of these tales concern strange magic, evil glamour, and the horrors of love gone wrong. As with any collection of my work, you will encounter monsters aplenty: evil cats, alien lovers, aquatic humanoids, a vicious Egyptian monstrosity, magic zombies, Internet witches, ghouls and others that defy description.

Even though I extol the virtues of darkness, I do encourage you to read this book with the lights on. Light does have its practical applications. You have to see the words.
