The Vampire Bridegroom

Chad Helder

Horror Short Stories

A collection of poems and short stories.

From Bram Stoker Award-winner Chad Helder comes The Vampire Bridegroom, his sweeping collection of horror poems and tales that explore the dark crevices of genre in a spectrum of forms.

Included here in this horror collage are poems that yearn to be horror movies. From a nightmarish array of vampires in the landscape of troubled adolescence to beastly transformations and horrifying awakenings... from the twisted theories of Hansel Fruehner — the perverted and blasphemous student of Freud — to scary fairy tales. Along the way, explore  the mythos of the Gory Boy and Queen Bloody Mary, encounter the ever-present figure of Satan in the mind of a preacher's son and, of course, meet the sharp-toothed title character himself.
