Unholy Beginnings and Unhappy Endings

(2023)
A collection of stories by

 
 
From the introduction by Shirley Jackson award-nominated author Steve Dillon:
"It’s perhaps fitting that this, my final collection of short stories, should be titled so – the wording came to me several years ago, but I had no idea then it would mark the end of my writing career.
Writing has become more and more taxing and draining over the past few years, and while this book has been almost ready for publication for a few of those, I haven’t had the compulsion to publish until now.
I hope you enjoy some of these stories, of various lengths, quality, and themes. They are dark and therefore likely to draw you down a deep well as their inception did to me…"
