GHOSTS BY GASLIGHT/ Great Halloween Reads

Ghosts by gaslightWant something something spooky to read around Halloween? What could be better than GHOSTS BY GASLIGHT?

Edited by Jack Dann (World Fantasy Award-winning co-editor of Dreaming Down Under) and Nick Gevers (acclaimed editor and book reviewer), Ghosts by Gaslight is a showcase collection of all-new stories of steampunk and supernatural suspense by modern masters of horror, fantasy, sf, and the paranormal. An absolutely mind-boggling gathering of some of today’s very best dark storytellers—including Peter Beagle, James Morrow, Sean Williams, Gene Wolfe, Garth Nix, Marly Youmans, Jeffery Ford, and Robert Silverberg—Ghosts by Gaslight offers chilling gothic and spectral tales in a delightfully twisted Victorian and Edwardian vein. Think Henry James’s Turn of the Screw and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a decidedly steampunk edge, and you’re ready to confront Ghosts by Gaslight.

“Devotees of M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood will relish this superior anthology of original stories…. It seems almost unfair to single out individual works when all 18 are superb and will be cherished by steampunk and horror fans alike.” -- Publishers Weekly *starred review*

 

Check it out here. And here's a great new review by the Deseret News.

"Here are the current dates for the Aloha From Hell book tour. Some dates will be added and a couple don't have times yet. I'll updates those when I get the info. I'll sign your book, your Kindle, your child, your cat, your ass, your pancreas. I'll tattoo my name on your DNA with an electron microscope.
