“Needles and Sins is a barnburner, the kind of book of horror shorts that will keep you up at night munching on chips and finishing just one more story the same way EverCrack had you finishing just one more quest…Most of it’s good. Some of it’s damn good. And some of it’s great.”
~ Robert Beveridge
Tales beyond the darkness!
Roses scented with bitter deception, Oracles redolent in hidden redemption, a body-mod-obsessed ingenue with an amputee fetish and a demon gone soft on a bitter angel. Dreamcatchers, an alternate Nativity with a pimp God and a non-compliant Mary, Stupid Bitch the three-legged cat and the secret explanation of how Germany almost won the war with the devil on their side. These are just a few of the provocative sets in these 19 stories rife with “Needles & Sins”…
Includes “Letting Go,” a Bram Stoker Award Finalist, as well as five stories that received Honorable Mentions in the Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror anthology series:Â “Spirits Having Flown,” “The Beginning Was The End,” “The Strong Will Survive,” “Something Inside” and “You Never Got Used to the Needle.”
Available in e-book and trade paperback on Amazon.com.
