My god. This one is something special. William Rasmussen's comment about how creepy this piece is because the ghoul is turning toward you, as if just noticing you, is right on. Wonderful.
I've been collecting for many years now and I think I have discovered something new, different and wonderful in the Horror-Mall. I am probably not the easiest customer in the world but both Shane and Larry have always bent over backwards to accomidate my sometimes overwhelming small press addiction. I was even more prompted to write this after I was able to use my reward points to defray the cost of my order... man, I thought this system would not be for me but its beginning to really prove me wrong. There is definitely an upside to this technology. I think Horror-Mall will be around for quite awhile with the amazing attention to detail and discipline these guys have underpinning Horror-Mall's buisiness mode. THANX Shane and Larry - you've made another "Horror-Mall Loyalist" out of me!!!
Author: WalterJ. Danenhower One of my favorite stories of 2007. I would love to read more about the world John created in "Wings"
Author: geoff guthrie This is a story about a group of shifters. The pack leader is a wolf who protects the others, but is also cruel. The protagonist can shift into a butterfly and the third person of the pack can shift into a rat. The reason why they formed a pack is shifters can sense out other shifters and some are violent animals which will kill each other. Hence the butterfly and rat stay with the wolf because of his protection. The story is about an incident when a new shifter arrives from China, a dragon shape shifter. Which cause all forms of emotional and physical distress for the butterfly, and this is her tragic story of finding hope.
This is a really good story, as it deals with the physiological themes, while the shifters and horror that occurs are really the undertones and backdrop for what is occurring in Butterfly’s head. I recommend it, as it’s a fun an intelligent read.
Author: Josef Hernandez This novella is a very unique take on lycanthropy. There aren't enough werewolf stories around any more, but John Urbancik tries to take care of that in this novella. He creates a well-imagined world full of shapechangers of all ilks: wolves, rats, butterfly, and even a dragon. This world is populated by these shapechangers that hang in their own little packs, and their world is changed forever when the dragon comes to town and challenges the leaders supremecy. The only negative thing about this book is that it isn't longer. One of the better stories I've read this year.
