This was the first Knight story I ever read, and it was the one that showed me Knight is a true storyteller. The language was crisp and precise, the story sucked me right in, and I knew I was in the hands of someone with true talent. Recommended.

Testimonials

I have been a customer for over a year and I couldn't be happier. I found this site by accident and have not bought any books from anyone else since. I love horror and Horror Mall is the place to shop! I highly recommend it. Prompt shipping and great service. I highly recommend Horror Mall.

- Heidi H.

I recently received my very first order from Horror Mall and I have to say - I'm extremely impressed! The 3 books only took a week to get here (and from the US to the UK, that's pretty darn good!) and they're in excellent condition! I'm definitely going to use Horror Mall again, and I'm definitely going to recommend the site to anyone who will listen... and probably some that won't!

- Louise Yardley (aka Loucifer)

AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT by Michael Louis Calvillo (signed limited edition hardcover)

BLOOD & GRISTLE is a collection of twenty screwed up stories paired with twenty exquisite illustrations. It’s about detachable children, and self worth, and hungry, hungry, garbage disposals. It’s about boxes that shape destiny and Magic Eightballs that don’t. It’s about drugs and devils and everlasting, gnashing teeth. It’s about a crack addicted cardiologist looking for love and a nasty basilisk with a taste for kindergarteners. It’s about life and death, sorrow and fear, madness, faith, and all of the squishy, complicated stuff in between. So brace yourself, unplug the goopy gray of your brain, and get ready…things are about to get very, very messy.

I believe I got the overall theme in many of these stories: the darker side of loneliness, fear in general, mortality, habits and addictions, and I'm sure there were others (themes) I didn't pick up on. This he did well. But I didn't read the last five or six stories -- became too abstract for me. There was a light feeling of sameness in the stacked and clipped sentence structure and "trilogy" word usage. By that I mean, "As he paced his apartment the hurt hurt hurt intensified." That's not an exact line from the book but that along with the multiple "stacked" sentences of 3-6 words made many stories sound the same. Add profanity that bordered on overuse and, again, many stories blobbed together. Clear-cut and well-defined difference I find is stronger and captures interest more, especially in a short story collection.
