Little Things Available For Pre-Order
Posted by: | Comments
Bad Moon Books has announced that the trade paperback of John R. Little’s collection, Little Things, is now available for pre-order.
Little has been publishing his unique brand of short stories for almost 30 years. Little Things is a retrospective of his career, containing his best work. The stories in this collection cross the spectrum of wonder. Some will shock you, some make you sad, bring laughter, scare you, and some will sear into your memory.
“John Little is one of those writers who the rest of us envy — he’s a visionary, with personal obsessions (time, love, even cruelty) that define his work while continually refreshing it. His stories are disturbing, uplifting, thought-provoking, exciting, melancholy, horrifying, and sweet … all at once. John’s one of the great magicians of modern genre literature, and we’re lucky to share this timeframe with him,” says Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker-winning author of The Lucid Dreaming.
John R. Little is the winner of the Bram Stoker award and the Black Quill award for his book Miranda.

Posted by: | Comments
Bad Moon Books has announced that John Everson’s Siren is now available for pre-order.
Description: Music can transport you to the depths and heights of emotion. Music can make life worth living. Music can steal your soul. Evan’s soul is dead as he walks the empty Northern California beach every night.
Petrified of the water all his life, he’s never recovered from seeing his son drown in the ocean’s waves. But then one night, he hears a song on the beach. A beautiful, tortuously emotional melody that leads him right to the brink of the surf. That’s when the music ends, and a gorgeous nude woman dives off the black rocks to disappear in the waves. His fears for her safety are allayed when she returns the next night to sing again…only this time, he’s touched by more than her song…
He’s touched by something that won’t let him go…

After facing the death of his brother and his wife, James’ best friend threatens suicide. When James attempts to stop this act, something passes into him. It is the beast, a monster that opens the doorway to non-stop violence. James becomes the accidental pawn of this demon, which comes with but one warning…
No one that comes into contact with James is safe.

New Bruce Boston Collection
Posted by: | Comments
Bad Moon Books reports Bruce Boston’s Dark Matters is now available.
In Dark Matters, Boston once again shows the range that has made him a grandmaster among contemporary poets. Although speculative fiction is his most frequent touchstone, here he also references Jean Cocteau, Wallace Stevens, Mose Allison, T.S. Eliot, and Nostradamus, among others. The sly political and cultural commentary to be found in his “People” poems (“Harvest People,” “Rat People,” “Assassin People,” “Mole People”), in “Faith of the Torturer,” “On Homo Reptilis,” “Dystopian Dusk,” “Casket of the Age,” “Ten Dark Quatrains Channeling Nostradamus,” and “Key Events of the Third Millenium” – all show the slantwise truth-telling of his work.
Although, as befits its title, this is a volume focused on dark themes – stranglers and berserkers, grimoires and curses, demons and vultures, ghosts and zombies, cemeteries and necropolises, shadows and dark rains – it yet manages surprising flashes of grim humor (as in “A Siren’s Tale” and “Robovamp”). No matter how seemingly “marginal,” “extreme,” or “dark” the science fiction, horror, and fantasy tropes Boston plays upon here, in his hands those extremities cut into and through all the supposedly central and mundane assumptions of our daylight world. This is a volume of work both incisive and insightful, full of the subtlety, sophistication, and beauty of language we have come to expect from Boston’s previous work – but more darkly glittering, in this outing. – Howard V. Hendrix
