all american horrorLooking for something to do in Chicago today?  This just may be it.  City Lit Books will be hosting readings from All-American Horror of the 21st Century, edited by Mort Castle, at 6:30 p.m.

The book compiles the best short horror fiction published by magazines, anthologies, and web sites spanning the years 2000 – 2010. This prodigious collection is truly one-of-a-kind. It includes stories from National Book Award nominee Dan Chaon, rising-horror-star Jeff Jacobson, Bram Stoker Award-winner John Everson, World Fantasy Award winner Andy Duncan, and New York Times-bestselling author Tom Monteleone, among other worthies. These stories deal with “uniquely American” themes and subjects, and are written in an equally unique “American style.”

Editor Mort Castle is an award-winning author and writing teacher. He is author of seven novels, four fiction collections, and over 500 shorter works. Castle edited On Writing Horror, the essential reference work for authors in the dark genre. He teaches creative writing at Columbia College Chicago.
