Beautiful, Scary and All Things Wonderful

What if your mustache had a mind of its own, and your silence could cost you your life? What if the universe wasn't dying, but being quietly, methodically deleted?

In this debut collection by K.G. Reilly, the line between the mundane and the magnificent is razor-thin, and the absurd is always lurking just around the corner.

These tales plunge you into worlds both familiar and unsettlingly strange:

  • An office worker discovers his sentient mustache is a better corporate suck-up than he is, with terrifying consequences.
  • A post-apocalyptic father and son clash over a single, dangerous seed of hope in the ruins of the Scottish Highlands.
  • An astrophysicist becomes the first to witness the end of everything-a perfect, silent void expanding toward Earth since the dawn of time.
  • A Jerusalem wine merchant finds his business model catastrophically disrupted by a charismatic carpenter from Nazareth with a miraculous new product line.

If you crave stories that are equal parts mind-bending and heartfelt, with the speculative edge of Black Mirror and the classic wonder of The Twilight Zone, you will love the unforgettable worlds of K.G. Reilly.

October Shadows: Classic Ghost Stories for Halloween (Deluxe Illustrated Horror Anthology)
<p>In <em>October Shadows</em>, artist John A. Rice brings to life classic ghost stories, using autumn leaves as his canvas. Each of the thirteen tales--by authors including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edith Nesbit--explores the unexplained and the macabre, tapping into our worst fears and the darker side of human nature while exploring the supernatural mysteries that connect all our lives. This is the perfect book for curling up in front of a fire on a chilly night, when the moon is high, the wind whispers in the trees, and ominous shadows lurk around every corner.<br /></p><p>Every story in <em>October Shadows</em> is illustrated with an original artwork executed on an autumn leaf. Each artwork is shown twice: once at the beginning of the story, and once at the end, transformed--like the face of a jack-o'-lantern--by backlighting, the light bleeding through the leaf and transforming the colors to an eerie and haunting effect.<br /></p><p>Like a relic from another era, <em>October Shadows</em> features a deluxe binding in real cloth, with foil stamping and a tip-on. By breathing new life into timeless stories and reimagining them with Rice's unique approach, this anthology is poised to become an essential autumn classic--a book for Halloween and for cozy, spooky reading all year round. </p><br />
