The Butsudan
Travels to the lands of the living, the dead and the damned describes the stories in Fatal Journeys. The Butsudan, included in the new signed Limited Edition, is a story about sex, death and the ghosts of Japanese ancestors. Here is The Butsudan for your enjoyment:
Hiroshi-san died at the start of the New Year. Now, nine months later, it is the beginning of Obon, the festival of the dead in Japan, and he is due to come home for a visit.
As I trudge back from the market, I can sense the happy excitement and anticipation of the people around me, many of them already wearing yukatas, lightweight summer kimonos, in preparation for the dancing that will start tonight, but all I feel is a profound, stomach-turning dread.
Fatal Journeys
Travels to the Lands of the Living, the Dead, and the Damned
FATAL JOURNEYS is a collection of stories about travelers who venture into regions both macabre and seductive, on the planet and within the psyche.
The Silence Between the Screams
The Silence Between The Screams is a collection of original short fiction and a reprint of a previously released novella. Her novella “Spree” has not been available for many years after its initial printing sold out almost immediately upon publication. Now “Spree” and this collection of original short fiction is being published for the first time.
The Safety Of Unknown Cities
“Lucy Taylor’s The Safety of Unknown Cities is one of the most impressive debut novels centered around relationship-driven fiction catalyzed by horrific events mostly realistic, sometimes supernatural.” — Edward Bryant, Locus Magazine
Axes of Evil
Edited by horror writer Alex Johnson, the anthology AXES OF EVIL combines two ever popular themes: heavy metal and horror. Due out from Chupa Cabra House in April 2014, this is “splatter ‘n grind” at its best!
