Jeff Strand, author of Everything
has Teeth
Kevin Kennedy is one of the new
breed of horror writing talent who is beginning to make waves in the industry
with his captivating style dripping with dread. Definitely one to watch.
Michael Bray, author of the
Whisper Trilogy
Dark Thoughts by Kevin Kennedy
is everything you want from a horror collection and more. The variety on
display here is staggering, from the supernatural to the evil in the hearts of
men, but it is always underlined with a visceral grittiness that you just can’t
shake. I think we have horror’s answer to Irvine Welsh.
Lee Mountford, author of The
Demonic
Serving up tales of terror like
a cannibal serves up flesh, Kevin Kennedy’s Dark Thoughts are exactly that, and
they don’t come much darker. Rounding off the collection with a fitting tribute
to Richard Laymon, the stories take you on a red double decker bus ride to a
lonely mountain via caves, Oz, and a beach-based carnival. Strap on your seat
belt and get ready to go.
J.C. Michael, author of
Pandemonium
A stunning horror collection
that will keep you turning the pages long after dark.
Christopher Motz, author of Pine
Lakes & Tenants
Kevin J. Kennedy writes with an
unparalleled voice that grips the reader with an alarming urgency from the
first page. Each of the stories told within this solo anthology is a
masterpiece of suspense and pacing, each one adeptly spun of the stuff of
nightmares and evils yet undiscovered.
Horror has no happy endings. And
these dark tales are purely distilled, 100 proof, gut twisting horrors.
Look forward to dimly lit
corridors too long for the building, a feral child raised by Pavolvian parents
with a taste for human flesh, a camping trip to a forbidden lake that no
hikers return from, terrible choices with consequences in the world of drug
trafficking, a raw and bloody Tarentino take on The Wizard of Oz classic, and
more.
To quote the disfigured and
macabre ticket taker in the story, ’Canivalland’
“Perhaps you are meant to join
us.”
P. Mattern, author of Strident
House
A surreal carousel ride of
horror, revenge and crime.
Matthew V. Brockmeyer,
award-winning author of Kind Nepenthe and Under Rotting Sky
A richly imagined and
brilliantly executed collection of dark tales by a rapidly emerging voice in
the horror genre.
C.S. Anderson, author of The
Black Irish Chronicles
This horror collection will pull
deep strings in your mind...
The end of the world through a
double-decker's window glass. Torture —ashes to ashes. Have you tried to walk
in a cannibal's shoes? They have their own ghosts...
Would the gates of eternity have
the shape of a carnival monstrosity?
Oh, a drug dealer shall tremble
when hearing "yes... but family."
Perhaps you would prefer dancing
a macabre waltz with Dorothy and her friends in the land of Oz? What about
"revenge, sweet revenge"?
Worry not, you can keep the fury
of the gods and a flesh feast for dessert.
After all... the author well
knows there's no end like an ancient course to tie up this bouquet of
nightmares.
Did this seem to shudder? Wait
until you turn the first page, it won't let you go. You'll find yourself
smiling more than once, it will awake your most disturbing side.
Ten stories to steal your sleep
—and your mind.
Enjoy.
