Shrieks and Shivers from the Horror Zine

Jeani Rector and the Horror Zine have compiled another classic anthology of unsettling and stomach-churning tales in the tradition of Pan Books or Weird Tales, and introduced us to a motley band of new horror talent, some of whom will no doubt become household names in the genre in time. This unrepentant volume reminds us why the small press is such a force in dark literature. ""The Horror Zine is the true home of today's visceral, organic horror, and the stories in SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS reflect the courage and imagination with which Jeani Rector has sustained this genre for the past six years. Be prepared to encounter the grue in gruesome, not only brought to you by some very experienced butchers but by some fearless and inspired new dabblers in blood, entrails and other things too horrifying to mention."" - Graham Masterton, author of Plague of the Manitou ""A potent witch's brew of horror veterans spiced with succulent new blood." "- Scott Nicholson, author of The Red Church ""The stories in SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS is like a sampling from the weird, visceral darkness of the collective mind. Some of the authors are old friends, reliably creepy friends who deliver exactly what you want. What might surprise the reader is the number of new writers to devour. And there are angles on the human condition from which you never thought to look-and perhaps should not have. Endlessly creative takes on zombies, paranoia, and the monsters within. You'll read this collection long into the night. You might want to fall asleep with the lights on." "- Susie Moloney, author of The Thirteen ""Jeani Rector has the experience to know horror inside and out. She picks only the best of today's writers for her anthologies. I can easily see some of her hand-picked talent carrying horror into the next decade." "- D. W. Jones, Editor, Blood Moon Rising Magazine ""A perfect storm of a horror anthology-dread thundering through the stories, lightning flashes of terror, a hurricane of visceral thrills." "- Simon Clark, author of The Night of the Triffids ""There are some really good short stories in this collection. Some eerie. Some disturbing. Some I wish were true: I'd probably find the freak tent to see Hercules in a tank of honey."
