Corpse Blossoms: Volume 1

Corpse Blossoms: Volume 1

Larry Tritten
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Introduction by Joseph Nassise

Bentley Little tells of a trucker's obsessive search for his less-than-human father. Nuclear armageddon is only the beginning for the teenage reject crafted by Nick Mamatas. In Ramsey Campbell's tale, a journey to the woods of his youth reveals a man's dementia... and some sinister secrets. A sensory kaleidoscope of deadpan insanity, is presented by Bev Vincent, author of The Road to the Dark Tower. The terrible truth of a mother's choice is revealed through a dozen fragmented perspectives by Gary A. Braunbeck, author of In Silent Graves. Tom Piccirilli, author of The Midnight Road, spins a somber tale of one man's last desperate fight to redeem a squandered life. A reporter's sanity unravels after viewing a video never meant to be seen in a terrifying and topical novelette by Kealan Patrick Burke, author of The Hides. Scott Nicholson, author of The Home and The Manor, explores the tragedy of infant death and the fragility of a new mother's mind.

Corpse Blossoms presents an array of specters and shadows, creatures and catastrophes, but the focus of each story is ultimately the human factor. The frailty, the ignorance, the conceit; these are the dread elements that shape our decisions and often doom us.
