SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS is “full of scares, creeps and utterly horrifying things”
Goodreads reviewer Dave Granger says SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS, which features my story, “Center Stage Sideshow”, is sure to earn new fans for each contributor. In a review he posted earlier this month on the social cataloging site, Granger wrote:
Now available in Kindle, paperback, and limited edition hardcover.
Jeani Rector has done it again, though this may be the best anthology she’s put together so far. As much as I liked the last one, SHADOW MASTERS, this one is far above that. The stories in here are diverse and well written, full of scares, creeps and utterly horrifying things.
It really has something for everyone. Do you like monsters? Check. Twilight Zone type of stories? Check. Subtle horror? Check. Whatever your taste there’s some great stories in this one you can’t miss. Not to mention a great introduction by Bentley Little and one by John Russo.
Stories in here that can’t be missed are by Ray Garton, William F. Nolan, Jason V. Brock, Shaun Meeks, Christian A. Larsen, Tom Piccirilli, Lisa Morton and really, I loved every single one in this. Going back over the names and stories right now, there’s not a single one I wouldn’t read again. Each writer in here has just earned a new fan.
Available now in Kindle, paperback and limited-edition hardcover from Post Mortem Press, SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS includes a foreword by Bentley Little (THE INFLUENCE) and an introduction by NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD screenwriter John Russo. Oh, and these stories, too:
