A collection of stories by some of the most talented new and established writers. You need to buy this one.

July 22nd, the release of the long awaited The Booked. Anthology, compiled by the minds behind The Booked Podcast. Consider this collection a primer for the names you’ll need to know if you plan on being cool at any dark, alt-literature party. Also, if you know of any dark, alt-lit parties happening let me know. As far as I know they are Sasquatch-level myth.

We’re talking stories from Chris Deal, Christopher J. Dwyer, Michael Paul Gonzalez, Amanda Gowin, Seth Harwood, Gordon Highland, David James Keaton, Nik Korpon, Axel Taiari, Paul Tremblay, Fred Venturini, Craig Wallwork, and many more . And even more amazing, ALL of these stories are NEVER BEFORE SEEN. That’s right. Nothing previously published. You’re getting the new shit this time.

Click over to the The Booked. Anthology page for a full list of contributors along with a variety of purchase options. Or, go straight to Amazon, because let’s face it, that’s where you’re going anyway.

And because you’re reading this from my blog, chances are you’re at least partially interested in my story in the collection, “The Removal Kind.” It’s a story about an illegal transaction gone wrong. And like most of my typical domestic grotesque stories it involves a family and something really, really creepy. Also, it’s probably going to be a chapter in a longer novella or novel sometime, so read it now and be extra hipster cool at those fictitious dark, alt-lit parties.
