Kirkus reviews CHIRAL MAD
KIRKUS REVIEWS, America’s premiere book review magazine, calls CHIRAL MAD “a compilation of entertaining, if often disturbing, stories” in its examination of the horror anthology published here on November 26, 2012.
CHIRAL MAD features 28 writers, such as Jack Ketchum, Gary Braunbeck, Gene O’Neill, Gary McMahon, Gord Rollo, and Jeff Strand, but, as the KIRKUS review says “they are all ultimately dissimilar—because madness affects everyone differently.”

CHIRAL MAD is now available for $15 through Amazon.com. Published by Written Backwards, all profits from the anthology go directly to Down’s syndrome charities. It would make a perfect holiday gift for that reader you pulled in the Secret Santa drawing. You know it would.

My secret Santa wants a wok. That’s kind of like a book, right?

I think a wok and a book would make the perfect combo gift this holiday season.
