Garden of Fiends
(2017)A collection of stories by Max Booth III, Kealan Patrick Burke, Jack Ketchum, Glen Krisch, Jessica McHugh, Mark Matthews, John F D Taff and Johann Thorsson
"Garden of Fiends brings us face-to-face with the demons driving us to dependence. Raw, brutal, and insightful. This is an important work."
-Lee Murray, Bram Stoker Award wining author of Into the Mist
The intoxication from a pint of vodka, the electric buzz from snorting cocaine, the warm embrace from shooting heroin--drinking and drugging provides the height of human experience. It's the promise of heaven on earth, but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness. The craving to get high is a yearning as intense of any blood-thirsty monster. The best way to tell the truths of addiction is through a story, and dark truths such as these need a piece of horror to do them justice. The stories inside feature the insidious nature of addiction told with compassion yet searing honesty. Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of accidental deaths, and some of the most incredible names in horror fiction have tackled this modern day epidemic.
