Look Out For … Nothing But The Willows by J.D. Buffington

Nothing But the Willows by J.D. Buffington - cover“With his latest collection, Buffington seamlessly blends horror and science-fiction as only he can, with emotional resonance shimmering beyond the shadows.”

 

A world where gods and monsters are real.

Houses are haunted, and time is malleable.

The cosmos teleports us far from home, facing nature beyond our comprehension.

… glimmers of limits broken and endless worlds are just out of sight, just a breath away.

 

 

 

Why we’re excited about this book:

J.D. Buffington has been honing his craft since the late 90s, and now is his time to shine in the world of horror and weird fiction. The author of In the House of In Between and 41: An Autobiography, Buffington has several novelettes including Red Clouds, Come Hither No Malice, and The Light Across the Street, with short-fiction collected in Punch/Pants and Fruitless Bodies, and appearing in such publications as The NoSleep Podcast and Myths, Monsters, Mutations among others. With his latest collection, Buffington seamlessly blends horror and science-fiction as only he can, with emotional resonance shimmering beyond the shadows. Melody McIntyre (reviewer/ The Horror Tree) says: “I would classify the stories generally under horror, but many have strong elements of sci-fi, fantasy, drama, and inspire more emotions than fear. Buffington’s author bio states, “He seamlessly weaves vivid nightmares and haunting anxiety together to immerse readers into a state of fright and wonder,” and I believe that this collection demonstrates that.”, and  Suzan Palumbo (The Skin Thief) says: “Nothing but the Willows is a poignant, introspective story of tragedy, hauntings, guilt and forgiveness told with compassion and warmth.”


Why J.D. is excited about this book:

Nothing But The Willows & Other Things That Aren’t There is a collection of what-if’s and twists on perception that keep me awake at night. They’re the nightmares that interrupt my rest and the visions that leave me shaken during the day. I’m excited to share this eclectic collection with the world so that we can all air what’s bothering us about what’s not in the room.”

Releasing from Standing 8 Count Publications 5 September 2024, Nothing But The Willows & Other Things That Aren’t There by J.D. Buffington (cover art: Stina Patton) is available for pre-order now.
