Old Ghosts and Other Revenants
Think about fear for a moment. Think about what fuels your darkest dreams. Revenge. Greed. Murder. Sadism. Erotic nightmares. Ghosts. Vampires. Madness. Lovecraftian horrors beyond the stars. Or perhaps ghouls from beyond the grave. You’ll find them all here, and more, in this stunning collection of 12 macabre tales from J. F. Gonzalez, co-author of the cult-classic horror novel Clickers, and one of dark fiction’s rising stars.
Gonzalez’s first collection, Old Ghosts and Other Revenants, is filled with stories and novelettes firmly rooted in the classic pulp tradition. Tthese stories of nature gone amok, of decadent fantasies and desires, crime and punishment, blood and death, represent a sampling of over ten years of his work, and also includes the title piece, “Old Ghosts”, original to this volume. Take a trip through this unique writer’s past... and prepare to meet whatever ghosts just might be lingering in your own.
