LIKE a CHINESE TATTOO
Twelve Inscrutably Twisted Tales

By Cullen Bunn, Rick R. Reed, David Thomas Lord and JA Konrath

ISBN# 0-9779686-3-4

$17.95

 

Unusual, weird and wonderful, herein are twelve stories from the minds of four supremely talented — and twisted — authors. From the curse of the living dead to vengeance from beyond the grave, from the darkest corner of Africa to the bowels of the local cemetery, these tales are as unique and as mysterious as…well, a Chinese Tattoo!

 

For fans of JA Konrath's Jack Daniels mystery series, this collection includes a Harry McGlade novella, "The Necro Files." (McGlade also appears in the just-announced SUCKERS novelette from Delirium Books, co-written with Dark Arts Books alum Jeff Strand).

 

In addition to the hysterical "Necro Files," the book offers Rick R. Reed's dark revenge tale "Moving Toward the Light," David Thomas Lord's deceptively creepy "The White Room" and Cullen Bunn's darkly horrifying "Tomorrow, When The Demons Come" (as well as "Granny Kisses," one of Cullen's insanely twisted World Horror Convention Gross-Out stories!)

 

And those are just a few of the 12 offerings!

TATTOO Reviews!

  •   ...a brilliant collection of work from four talented authors, all of whom bring something sick and dripping to the table.

    • -Rue Morgue

Acclaim for the Authors:

Cullen Bunn takes the weird stuff rattling around his festering skull and pours it all over the page, and the horror world is a better place for it.

- Michael Oliveri, author of Deadliest of the Species and Werewolves: Call of the Wild

 

 

Rick R. Reed has a knack for presenting the gruesome lower depths of a soul.

- New City


 

David Thomas Lord writes with manic energy, sort of like Anne Rice on crack.

- Horror World


 

JA Konrath's prose ranges from careless to wretched.
