Lots of people (okay, a few) ask what Fear Itself, my debut Lethe Press collection, coming Dec. 5, is about.
Here's what my ten stories are about.
"Canadian author James K. Moran's
debut collection of dark fiction offers fantasy, sci-fi and horror shot through
with hope and friendship. Inside, readers will
discover sea serpents among the roiling waters of the St. Lawrence River under
a dilapidated international bridge; a misguided bi mage negotiating with a demon
he accidentally summoned into his dorm; a baby monitor issuing the voice of an
intradimensional dark god; a couple in Picton County fleeing an ancient entity they
cannot see directly that demands a blood sacrifice; queer ghosts haunting a British
nightclub; two salty old ranch hands outside Lethbridge, Alberta, betting on
who is a better shot in what may be the apocalypse; a shape-changing huckster seducing apathetic
suburbanites; a gay rare-collectibles hunter hunted by a being moving between
the Internet, film and fact; a cat-fished giant marauding the backroads of
Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry counties; a gay wine shop manager discovering
more than a dusty Moscato lurking in the musty basement; and a pterodactyl
loose downtown."
Now with a new cover!
