Rigor Morbid: Lest Ye Become is on sale now!
“This collection was fantastic! I will be looking forward to more collections from this publishing house in the future and will gladly give them all my money.
“The stories themselves are well-crafted and form a cohesive collection, thematically, without being an obvious themed call for submissions. I enjoyed the author diversity, as well as the diversity of the characters. The stories themselves are each and all dark and imaginative and fresh. A great, entertaining, and grisly read that is well worth the money. I foresee these anthologies rising to Nightmare and Cemetary Dance levels soon.” – Amazon Reviewer
Rigor Morbid: Lest Ye Become is a collection of 12 horror/dark fantasy stories exploring the most terrifying parts of human and non-human nature. Journey into these worlds and face the foes our characters may — or may not — overcome.
You are …
A woman, haunted through every reincarnation by a man who will not let you go.
A monster, fighting evil impulses that have guided your kind for centuries.
A teen rendered voiceless, forced to be somewhere you don’t belong..
A person conditioned with white supremacist masculinity, facing a situation where you must kill to survive.
You change …
Unknown curses are fused with your being and threaten to consume you.
Beings infect you with their horror and poison your soul.
The end of the world frees you from your obligations and gives you a second chance.
A villain steals you, piece by piece, until there is nothing left of you at all.
You can’t let go …
You sacrificed your heart and life to salvage your pride.
You must have the answers you seek.
You’re loyal to your host to the end.
You love the person who asks you to do the unthinkable.
You are silenced …
By oppression. By bigotry. By hatred. By an evil that renders you voiceless and threatens to consume your soul.
You are invited …
Step into the worlds of Rigor Morbid: Lest Ye Become and face the foes our protagonists may or may not overcome …
If you dare.
“These stories knock it out of the park … The writing is tight, terse and so fully formed. The ideas just blew me away.” Shamus, Macavity, Barry and Grand Prix de Literature Policiere award-winning author Ken Bruen

The Desperate and the Damned anthology is on sale now.
A naughty old woman. A girl locked away. Men desperate for money. The people caught in the crossfire of other people’s lives as they implode. The Desperate and the Damned contains 14 stories that look at both sides of crime. There are the criminals, desperate for money or revenge or driven by their own desires. There are the victims, who suffer at the hands of others. Some get revenge, some get justice and some elude suspicion from anyone willing to take action. Others are damned from the first word, the ones who never could catch a break no matter how hard they tried. Justice is both served and denied throughout these pages, much as it is in real life.
Whether it’s a naughty grandma heading out to find a guy to bring home to satisfy her desires, a mother struggling with mental illness, a guy about to lose his job who doesn’t know how he’ll pay the bills, each character is living on the edge of their existence, forced to extreme measures to right wrongs or survive.
The only question is will they?

Reviewing The Evidence has weighed in on The Spying Moon:
… on the whole, turning this into a series is a good thing.”
