For years, J.R.'s
stories have been acclaimed throughout the underground horror world. For the first time, these surviving stories have been collected in one
anthology. These are stories that challenge expectations and reject the staid conventions of the genre. These are stories that don't
compromise.
Above all, what readers understood and appreciated was
that these stories were about something. These are stories that, in the
finest tradition of H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Dennis Etchinson,
and T.E.D. Klein, articulate what you've always suspected: that life is a losing proposition.
