Mysteries & Mayhem

(2011)
A collection of stories by

 
 
Mysteries & Mayhem collects four previously published stories and two new tales from the collaborative team of David Benton and Bram Stoker Award-nominated author W.D. Gagliani. In "At the Back of the Blue Bus," a killer plays a grisly game on an overnight Greyhound bus ride; Manhattanites learn the dangers of the "Mood Elevator" in their new building; a cop investigates mysterious killings arising from a bizarre smuggling operation in "Moonshadow"; a hospital's night janitor receives "All the Gifts of Life" (but at what price?); in "Chicken Dance," two clueless detectives face a comic's revenge from beyond the grave; and a grieving musician becomes obsessed with hearing his dead father's voice in "A Solid Time of Change." Horror stories with a generous dose of gore, a pinch of humor, and a splash of erotic content, these tales should appeal to fans of Warren Publishing's Creepy and Eerie magazines, the 80s series Tales from the Crypt, and Stephen King's Creepshow. Intended for mature audiences.

"Gagliani and Benton are a writing team made in horror heaven. Brilliantly relentless, sometimes nasty, and completely worth it, Mysteries & Mayhem is not only highly recommended by Dreadful Tales, but also a must have for anyone needing a W.D. Gagliani fix at a low price. Bonus Material in this collection includes Icewall by WD. Gagliani, Corrupting the Monkeys by David Benton, and After The Fifth Step by John Everson - all of which are stunning in their own right, and a wonderful addition to an already stellar collection of shorts." -- Dreadful Tales
