“With piercing, unflinching delivery, coupled with nuanced and complex characters, Ballingrud navigates our nightmare lands with a skilled hand, consistently bringing his ‘A’ game with every story.”
Satanists, pirates, urban malignancy, terrifying cell-phones.
Six tales of horror, including ‘The Visible Filth’, a novella of dread about a New Orleans bartender who finds a cell phone left behind after a knockdown-knuckle busting bar fight.
Wounds, the new collection from Nathan Ballingrud, dares to cross the slippery line between nightmare and reality.
Why we’re excited about this book:
Nathan Ballingrud should be a household name for This Is Horror readers.
