Living with the Dead

Aurealis Award nominee 2012.

"If you're into horror, get into Livings. He knows what he's doing." - Paul Haines

A babysitter finds that an innocent clown doll isn't what it seems...
A thrill-seeker discovers that running with monsters can be deadly...
A gourmand finds that the finest meal might be closer than he expected...

From the twisted mind that brought you the novel Carnies come twenty-three tales to shock, terrify and perhaps even touch your heart.

A cosmonaut finds that going home might cost him his life...
A future where justice is not the only thing that is blind...
A creature than was once a man stalks the streets of Glasgow...

Celebrate twenty years of horror short fiction from esteemed author Martin Livings, with the very best of his award-winning work and three never-before-published stories.

A final concert by a living legend turns out to be much more...
A ruined soldier discovers that hell and home can be the same place...
A man finds that his future is written on a suit made of his own skin...

Find out why Martin Livings is regarded as one of Australia’s best in the genre. But be warned: it won’t take long to become immersed in the tales, and once you are, you too will find yourself living with the dead.

"I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he writes his first drafts in blood." - Kaaron Warren
