Vile Things: Extreme Deviations of Horror

Three anthologies in one, with 700 pages and 42 stories, including the newest book in the series, STIFF THINGS!VILE THINGS: EXTREME DEVIATIONS OF HORROR -- the ultimate collection of extreme horror from award-winning masters and up-and-coming authors of macabre fiction. SICK THINGS: EXTREME CREATURE HORROR -- a disturbing collection of extreme creature horror with 17 deviant and gore-soaked stories featuring demons, cannibals, mutants, golems, werewolves, and many more vile creatures, monsters, and beasts. STIFF THINGS: THE SPLATTERP0RN ANTHOLOGY-- ratchets up the er0ticism and visceral intensity with twisted hardcore stories that penetrate new depths of psychosexual horror. Not for the squeamish or prudish. Don't get any on you. EDITORIAL REVIEWS"This book is a definite for any extreme horror fan. Full of terror, sex, and gore, I don't recommend this for the faint of heart or for a light read at a beauty salon." --FANGORIA (on Vile Things)"But dismembered members aside, there are no cheap gross-outs here; even though the focus is clearly on the vile and unpalatable these don't feel like stories that were written with the sole purpose of being labeled 'extreme horror' or to merely revel in their graphic, gory descriptions. Simply put, VILE THINGS is every deviant horror fan's wet dream." --RUE MORGUE"VILE THINGS is one of the stronger horror anthologies I have come across in some time, its theme literally appears to be centered around creatures, topics, or situations that are so vile it would send a shiver down your spine. It includes stories from both established and newer horror authors, and some of the stories are more extreme than the usual fare."--MONSTER LIBRARIAN"Cover every orifice. Comet Press' new collection is making a beeline for the soft contents of your body--and it doesn't care one bit where it makes its grand entrance, orbital sockets or otherwise. Rest assured this violation will be painful, given the tight confinements of our fallible frames of flesh-but anything less than a full-on ass-rape would probably seem insufficient in the eyes of editrix Cheryl Mullenax.Mullenax has assembled a rogue's gallery of intelligent grotesqueries that will temper one's appetite hours after closing the book." --FANGORIA (on Sick Things)"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Anthology. Like I said in the beginning, no story fell short for me. Everyone brought an er0tic taste that stimulated every sense of my being. I highly recommend this book who love some deranged er0tic horror." -- SPLATTER CAFE (on Stiff Things)

Unique Refuge

Que Ben a-t-il donc vu, quand il avait huit ans, dans le cimetière de son petit village natal ? Pourquoi la tante qui l'a élevé après la mort de ses parents craignait-elle tant qu'il lise un recueil de vieilles légendes sur le Grand Nord ?Vingt ans plus tard, ayant gommé tous ces événements de sa mémoire, il est devenu auteur de contes pour enfants qui tous se passent dans la neige et le froid. A la mort de sa tante, il hérite de la vieille maison de Stargrave et vient y vivre avec sa femme et leurs enfants.A mesure que l'hiver s'installe, Ben se sent de plus en plus attiré par la forêt environnante. A plusieurs reprises, il rencontre d'étranges fantômes dans la neige et s'éloigne progressivement de sa famille. Ses souvenirs d'enfance refont surface...

Soleil de Minuit

J'avais oublié - peut-être préféré oublier - que j'avais cédé à l'ingérence d'un éditeur de copie ... quelqu'un anonyme dont l'engagement à trouver quelque chose de mal ne déshonorerait pas un greffier d'Europe de l'Est.

Thomas Ligotti est un maître absolu de l'horreur surnaturelle et de la fiction étrange, et un véritable original. Il poursuit sa vision unique avec admirable honnêteté et rigidité et la transmet en prose aussi puissamment évocatrice que n'importe quel écrivain sur le terrain. Je dirais qu'il pourrait être un génie.

Une façon d'éviter ce qui a déjà été fait est d'être fidèle à vous-même.

Maintenant, je réécrivez de plus en plus sévèrement, et je prends beaucoup de plaisir à couper des milliers de mots dans les premiers projets; Je pense que c'est un plaisir à apprendre le plus tôt possible dans sa carrière, notamment parce que réaliser que l'on peut le faire aide à se détendre à l'écriture du premier projet dans lequel il vaut mieux avoir trop de matériel pour la mise en forme ultérieure que pas assez.
