Book Overview

by Gemma Files (Author)

Finally back in print! The first horror story collection from Gemma Files, the multi-time Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award winning author of Experimental Film, and "one of the most powerful and unique voices in weird fiction today" (Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World).

This collection of seventeen short stories takes readers into the uniquely twisted mind of "one of Canada's most promising new horror writers" (Publishers Weekly). From a live necrophilia show starring reanimated corpses to a confrontation between a security guard and inhuman squatters, from who can be found at an all-night laundromat to what lies in wait at the bottom of the sea, from undead addictions to all-consuming obsessions, Kissing Carrion is "a journey through some of the most beautifully rendered visions of darkness and death to be published this past year... Fans of Poppy Z. Brite, Charlee Jacob, and Clive Barker should enjoy this collection immensely" (SF Reader).
