“I did more than just admire his work ― I adopted his career as both a goal to be reached and an example to be emulated.” ― Stephen King
John Farris is an acknowledged grandmaster of horror, distinctly Deep South-spiced, alternately flaming hot and bone-chillingly cold. The New York Times bestselling author of over forty novels rarely turned his gimlet gaze to the sharp shocks of short fiction . . . until now.
Bloody Mary Morning collects all of his short story output into a single landmark volume of American Gothic terrors, charting nearly forty years of stealthy frightmaking. Step into the parlor and meet the man who gave the world the classics The Fury and All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By.
Meet the man Stephen King called “America’s premier novelist of terror. When he turns it on, nobody does it better.”
Includes “horrorshow,” from which sprang the movie No Sin Unpunished in 2019, and the short story that was the basis for “We All Scream for Ice Cream,” most memorably directed for the Masters of Horror series by Fright Night and Child’s Play veteran Tom Holland.
“Farris has a remarkable ability to jab his literary ice pick into the bone marrow. With uncanny reality he depicts raw evil, particularly the sort that masquerades as innocence. It is genuine terror, and Farris provides it with an attribute lacking in the work of most contemporary storytellers ― style.” ― Brian Garfield
“He proves that black print on white paper can literally chill the blood.” ― Springfield News & Ledger
John Farris became a best-selling writer the year he graduated from high school with the publication of his debut novel of the Harrison High series, and over 17 million copies of his books have sold across his prodigious career. Also a director, painter, and poet, he hails from Atlanta, Georgia, where he lives with his wife, Mary Ann.
Genre: Horror
