This book is rad- it also has a whole section in the back with art from Michael A. Livolsi, which is dark and awesome.

In the middle of reading this anthology and so far *every single story* is creepy, well-written, and utterly unique. I'll have a review when I'm done but I'm enjoying it so much I wanted to bring it to people's attention- consider this an enthusiastic halfway-through review!

How do pet names develop for loved ones, for children? I donโ€™t recall the origin, but my daughter Devin is to me โ€œBootie-Booโ€. So, happy 12th birthday to my always-laughing, amazing, sweet as hated-pie, Bootie-Boo!!

My experience of working with Eric and Dark Moon Books has been very positive. Good covers, professional presentation, prompt payment and he actually promotes the book. If you write horror short stories, submit here.
