Love can lift you to the heights of passion or lead you to the depths of hell. Bram Stoker award winner John Everson's second fiction collection offers 15 dark fantasy and horror tales of dark desire:   CALLING OF THE MOON - She answered the calling of the moon. But not before he felt its touch.   LOVESONG - She lured him into the arms of alternative music. He lured her to face the room at the top of the stairs.   A TIME FOR MUSIC - A fairy flute can make dangerous music.   TRICK AND TREAT - All he wanted was a little company for the holiday.   AFTER THE FIFTH STEP - Sometimes, walking the tightrope isn't just a balancing act.   SEVEN DEADLY SEEDS - Bellinda liked to plant things. And Penelope was happy to give her the seeds.  PRESERVE - I don't kill, I preserve, the taxidermist said. But Richard wanted to die.   HARD HEART - Sometimes, wearing a heart on your sleeve can be tough. But giving it away can be even worse.   FROST - When David left the plane to live with the frost sprite, he thought his problems were over.   ANNE'S PERFECT SMILE - She'd disappeared without a trace. And then he found the post-it note.   A LACK OF SIGNS - If you really know what you want, sometimes, you can find it.   CHRISTMAS, THE HARD WAY - There's a reason for every tradition, even if you have magic.   THE HUMANE WAY - Christmas dinner can lead to unsavory philosophical debates.   THE RIGHT INSTRUMENT - Jack's career as a jingle writer was on the deep skids after his breakup. But Eddie knew, all he needed was the right instrument.   VIGILANTES OF LOVE - They came in silence from the swamps by the light of the full moon. They left only bloodstains on the sheets. Ribaud knew that it would take a voodoo queen to reverse the curse.

The debut Dark Arts Books release compiles 12 "new and used" horror stories by four darkly humorous and horrifically dark Chicago authors: Jay Bonansinga, Bill Breedlove, John Everson, and Martin Mundt. CANDY IN THE DUMPSTER includes Jay Bonansinga's short story "Stash," which inspired the movie of the same name featuring Marilyn Chambers and Tim Kazurinsky. It also includes one of John Everson's most popular erotic horror shorts, "Pumpkin Head," a modern "Great Pumpkin" patch fable with a femme fatale twist that has been reprinted several times and translated into French. Martin Mundt's disturbingly funny "A Perfect Plan" opens the book with a Very Bad Things-style descent into personal disaster and Bill Breedlove contributes his typically rapier-sharp wit in the boys shouldn't play with boys who play with dolls tale "The Lost Collection." The book also features eight more must-read stories by the four authors, and a nod-and-a-wink introduction by another lauded Chicago horror veteran, Mort Castle.

The Death Panel: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness features 13 stories from authors of crime, suspense, and horror. Sadistic serial killers, German war criminals, cops and zombies, the mob and monsters, detectives and were-creatures, all rolled up into one roller coaster ride of an anthology. Ultra violent, hardboiled, with an unhealthy dose of the macabre, The Death Panel is a no-holds-barred, in-your-face hard ride to hell. EDITORIAL REVIEWS  HORROR WORLD "...if you’re looking for something a little different to read in your horror fiction, a book with stories that are edgy and cool as all hell, then pick up The Death Panel, and then be prepared to be blown away by some of the best genre short story fiction written in the last few years. Yes, this book is that good." BOOKGASM "With sharp writing and a crisp design to match, the anthology makes a strong case for 2009's best. It's only Comet Press' third release, but already, the small-press label has distinguished itself as a reliable name brand. Pick it up, if you've got the balls." MONSTER LIBRARIAN "If you are a horror fan who wants to expand your horizons, I highly recommend picking up The Death Panel."

V Wars: A Chronicle of the Vampire Wars (V Wars Series, 1)

[MP3CD audiobook format in vinyl case.]  [Read by: Cassandra Campbell, Gabrielle de Cuir, Roxanne Hernandez, Arte Johnson, Lisa Renee Pitts, John Rubenstein, Stefan Rudnicki, Wil Wheaton] They are hunting us. In this sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the Vampire Wars, mankind is unwittingly infected by a millennia-old bacteria unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now, in some rare cases, a person's so-called junk DNA becomes activated. Depending on their racial and ethnic heritage, they begin to manifest one of the many diverse forms of the ''others'' that are the true basis for the legends of supernatural creatures. These aren't your usual vampires and werewolves -- it goes much deeper than that. Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V Wars features stories from various frontlines as reported by such contributors as Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John Everson, Keith R. A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson -- as well as Maberry himself, of course. The result is a compelling series of tales that creates a unique chronicle of mankind's response to this sudden, hidden threat to humanity.
