Something wicked walks the streets of the picturesque New Hampshire village of Great Bay--something that has inexplicably risen from the grave to wreak a horrifying vengeance. Only one man can stop it--provided he can stay sober long enough to answer the call!

Hiram Grange and the Village of the Damned introduces readers to the scurrilous boozer and malcontent, Hiram Grange. Though afflicted with a laundry list of dysfunctions, addictions and odd predilections, Hiram Grange stands toe to toe (and sometimes toe to tentacle) with the black-hearted denizens of the Abyss and dispenses justice with the help of his antiquated Webley revolver and Pritchard bayonet.

The first of a five part series. Cover and illustrations by Malcolm McClinton, and original woodcut prints by Danny Evarts

"Stunning and startlingly original...a must read!" - Nate Kenyon, author of THE BONE FACTORY and SPARROW ROCK
                      "Master craftsmanship."  - CEMETERY DANCE

"Shannon is a writer who is not afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things
          living there kicking and screaming into the light." 
- BRIAN KEENE
"Everyone carries a shadow," wrote analyst Carl Jung, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

Few of us see the shadow with any clarity. Turn around for a peek, it slips away. Our violent, sexually tinged fantasies are indulged regularly in darkened theaters, savored in eerie prose, celebrated in song, sometimes reluctantly encountered within the depths of a reoccurring nightmare. When we do look hard at one, long enough to recognize it as our own, the experience can challenge reality. We can then choose to become wiser as a result--or spin totally out of control...

How many fragments of a shattered mirror could you examine and still survive?

In this collection, his first in nearly ten years, award winning author Harry Shannon gives us twenty three short stories, some published here for the first time.

...has been published in Morpheus Tales, Pagan Imagination, Zygote in my Coffee and anthologies such as Sonar 4's TOOTH DECAY and Library of the Living Dead's LADIES OF HORROR

...her novels include EPIPHANY (as Regina Riley) and WHITE ELEPHANT (as Penny Dreadful) through Sugar and Spice Press. She also has novellas CLOCKWORK AND CORSETTS out through Lyrical Press and THE BLOOMING through Sonar 4 Publications

...does a blog talk radio show with Shells Walter every Sunday at 6pm named Sonar4 Magazine Talk Show that interviews up and coming authors and others in the sci-fi and horror worlds. She also does another show with her twin sister every Friday at 10am named Twinsanity. "It's basically my sister and I shooting the shit for an hour and you have the privilege to listen in."

Favorite Tonia Brown story? "Right now it's my latest book LUCKY STIFF: MEMOIRS OF AN UNDEAD LOVER. It's the tale of a young man who dies a virgin, returns a zombie and learns to control his hunger for flesh by sexing folks up. I don't know if I'm in love with it because it's my latest work, or because it's just so strange. Funny, touching, weird, grotesque, it has it all. I can't wait to share it with the world."

Highly recommend horror book? "DESPERATION by Steven King is one of the scariest books I've read. I especially loved the paring of it with The Regulators. What a great idea!"

What's next for Tonia? "I'm editing Sonar4's upcoming Steampunk anthology, due this autumn. I have three unpublished books lined up- FRIEND OF THE DEVIL, LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT and LUCKY STIFF (mentioned above.)"

"Other than that, whatever the fates send my way I suppose. I'm trying to finish the second novella in the Clockworks series. (There will be three total.) Then after that I'm due to finish a full length novel in the same universe, but a different story line for a totally different company. My sister gave me a wonderful idea for another erotic horror tale involving a prostitute and the removal of male body parts, so I'm excited to start that sucker."
