Beneath a Pale Sky collects eight stories of horror, including two original novellettes, that will take you from the high-security ward of a mental hospital to the top of a Ferris Wheel on an ocean pier. These stories will bury you in the rubble of an earthquake, pull back the veil on a soul's journey into the afterlife, and turn a small midwestern town into the secret domain of cross-dimensional gods. Combining old-school horror with the modern weird, Philip Fracassi will take you places you've never been before, and show you sights you won't soon forget.The supernatural intrudes upon a wedding; a pier becomes the site of tragedy; a collapsed building is only the start of the nightmare for those trapped in the ruins; a scientist who makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to find out that what he's unearthed has dire consequences not only for himself, but for all of mankind.

Industry Reviews

"This is a must-read collection for those who enjoy horror in its short form by authors who can morph two-dimensional words on the page into very real terror from which readers cannot hide, even if they want to." - Booklist

"Fracassi draws you in with a hand as sure as the tap of an orchestra conductor's baton. The stories in Beneath a Pale Sky are elegant, unsettling, and beautifully wrought. One of the best collections I've read in a long while." - Christopher Golden, New York Times-bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands

"Philip Fracassi is an artist who paints with words...I don't know if I've ever read a book that left me with so many striking images. These are finely crafted stories, timeless and original." - Zoje Stage, USA Today-bestselling author of Baby Teeth and Getaway

"This one's an essential read for horror fans, but readers of all stripes will find grace, humor, and some thoughtful reflections on life and death here." - Library Journal, starred review
