Fatal Journeys — Lucy Taylor

Lucy Taylor's new collection, FATAL JOURNEYS, visits not only foreign lands but Journeys into the mind, the soul, and the evil that lurks within. The award-winning author of THE SAFETY OF UNKNOWN CITIES has collected together a new volume of horror and eroticism short fiction, her first in over a decade.

FATAL JOURNEYS features nine stories to titillate and horrify: SUMMERLAND is a disturbing tale that shows one doesn't have to go far to experience horror in the world. In HOW REAL MEN DIE Eddie wonders how he could enjoy sex so much, when in a few days. He's going to watch his best friend die. Worse is the fact that he is going to be the one that kills him. THE BUTSUDAN: A tale of greed, lust, and ultimately, revenge. SANGUMA shows us that no man should have the rights over a woman whether it is body... or soul. What lurks in the fog and is the monster man or myth in NIKISHI. THE HIGH AND MIGHTY ME begins with the boys of summer, lighting fireworks, with fireflies buzzing as the day begins to fade. With Captain KaBlam! visiting the neighborhood, the boys discover what fun truly can be. Or so they thought. In GOING NORTH Pruitt has a plan. She's going to travel, to get away from Daddy and Kenny and the unwanted attentions she's receiving. Pruitt is only seven years old and she has a plan. Also featured are TIVAR and SOUL EATERS.

Features an introduction by author Jack Ketchum (The Girl Next Door).
