In A Season Of Dead Weather by Mark Fuller Dillon

In A Season Of Dead Weather by Mark Fuller Dillon

In a season of dead weather, the mind clutches at reality; but what does it find instead? Madness, or monsters? Ghosts, or things more terrible than ghosts? Illusions, or invasions? Dreams, or the darkness at the end of all nightmares? One thing is clear: these are tales that echoes tell, in a season of dead weather.

The weird, the uncanny, the strange: these are the local conditions of dead weather.

And these are stories based on dreams and nightmares, on things barely glimpsed in the moonrise, on places perfectly normal by day but haunted by the light of winter stars.

Along with stories that appeared in “All Hallows” (edited by Barbara and Christopher Roden) and in the ROC anthology, “Alone on the Darkside” (edited by John Pelan) are tales that have never seen the light — but now, as daylight fades, the stories can be told.

(May be too intense for younger readers.)

“Mark Fuller Dillon is an original talent, whose precise use of language, obliquely disturbing imagery and meticulous world building single him out as a writer to watch.”

[Peter Tennant, BLACK STATIC #35.]

“There are themes of love and loss, misunderstanding, and a diminishing sense of identity throughout this collection which link the stories strongly. The bleak landscape clearly inspires the author, and his descriptive prose of rural communities in the grip of a Canadian winter will have you shivering; yet despite this there is a warmth of experience here which brings the characters to life, proving the author not only writes beautifully, but also has a lot to say. I was entranced by this book, and I read it in one sitting. These are powerful yet subtle three-dimensional tales from an original mind, and Mark Fuller Dillon deserves a greater readership.”

[Martin Cosby, author of DYING EMBERS]

“I enjoyed this collection, not least because I felt I was sharing the imaginative world of someone who doesn’t seek easy answers or rely on obvious gimmicks.”

[David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES]

The Revenants by Mary Hallberg

About The Revenants by Mary Hallberg

They came for ghosts, but found something much worse…
It’s the summer after graduation, and 18-year-old Will wants one last blast with his friends before they go their separate ways for college. At the suggestion of his ghost hunter friend Cam, they sneak onto the grounds of Pleasanthood, a town abandoned after a devastating chemical spill twenty years earlier. The town is supposed to be haunted by the people who died in the disaster. But Will doesn’t believe in the paranormal, so he’s not too worried about that. His primary concern is getting somewhere with his crush, Piper, who he somehow convinced to come along.
But once they arrive, the group quickly realizes something’s not right. Stationary objects move seemingly on their own. Thick fog surrounds the town on an otherwise clear evening. And even though it’s the middle of July in south Louisiana, it’s cold enough for them to wear jackets.
And things are about to get worse. When the sun sets, something else emerges from the nearby cemetery. Corpses brought to life by the chemical spill set out to consume the living, regenerating — and getting stronger — with each kill. Now, trapped within the thick woods surrounding the plant, Will and his friends must escape the living dead…or become part of them.

The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer

The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer

Walt Erickson has achieved a level of success most novelists can only dream of—yet the way he’s reached this point in life is the stuff of nightmares.

With his agent, an associate, and a particularly unique typewriter by his side, Walt’s creative process is much more sinister and merciless than the average writer’s. The lengths to which one man will go to achieve fame and notoriety give a chilling glimpse into what humans are capable of, regardless of the moral consequences.

The Wordsmith is a thrilling and darkly innovative story of suspense, one that will force you to wonder if we can ever truly know the whole story behind the people we love. Is it possible to unearth the darkest details of ourselves and still come out alive?

As Walt’s hunger for fame continues to grow, and his girlfriend begins to suspect the unsettling truth behind his words, the tenuous threads holding Walt’s life together begin to fray.
