Fear of the Unknown, an anthology originally released by
The Harrow, edited by Kfir
Luzzatto & Monica O'Rourke; Jason Nolan, Art Editor. With an introduction by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.
A chill
wind blows through the thirteen stories in this new collection.
It rustles dead cornfields and diseased grapevines, travels
through dark train tunnels and small railside towns, brushes
across the killing floor of an abandoned LA shop and tugs at the
garments of the bouncer at Death's own nightclub...
It whispers around a red box in a stranger's lap and rattles the
door of an isolated compound in a death-filled land...
It carries the plaintive notes of a piano and the screaming wail
of an electric guitar, the sobbing of babies, the murmur of
psychiatrists, and the laughter of Satan ... and everywhere the
wind blows, it brings madness, murder, and contagion.
Put the wind at your back and let it propel you into the unknown
with such well-known guides as Jack Ketchum, Poppy Z. Brite, and
Owl Goingback. Including chilling stories by David Niall Wilson
and Patricia Lee Macomber, Paul Finch, Teri A. Jacobs, Mark Dunn,
J. M. Heluk, Matthew Brolly, Teri Lucia, Michael R. Colangelo,
Christine Morgan and Dru Pagliassotti, this collection is
handsomely illustrated by cult favorite GAK, artists Arthur Davis
Broughton and Kenneth Emig, and many others.
