INTO PAINFREAK: A JOURNEY OF DECADENCE AND DEBAUCHERY

Read­ers of hard­core hor­ror fic­tion were first intro­duced to Painf­reak in a col­lec­tion of short sto­ries by author Ger­ard Houarner in 1996. Now Houarner is both a con­trib­u­tor to and edi­tor of the new anthol­ogy INTO PAINF­REAK, pub­lished by Necro Pub­li­ca­tions, Bed­lam Press & Weird West Books.

INTO PAINF­REAK fea­tures all new sto­ries from some of horror’s top authors, includ­ing a new nov­el­ette by Edward Lee. Con­trib­u­tors include Mon­ica O’Roarke, Wrath James White, K. Trap Jones, Linda Addi­son, Charlee Jacobs, and many oth­ers. I’m delighted that my own story “He Who Whis­pers the Dead Back to Life” is part of the line-​up – in my ver­sion of this Land of Erotic Enchant­ment, the entrance to Painf­reak is a casita near Gallup, New Mex­ico.

For those not already famil­iar with the ter­ri­ble delights of Painf­reak, this entry from the blog of David G. Bar­nett, pub­lisher, will give you an idea: “Wel­come to Painf­reak, the trav­el­ing club that arises out of the dark and calls to those seek­ing the ulti­mate in plea­sure and pain. Many come to expe­ri­ence the ulti­mate in deca­dence and debauch­ery. And many get lost in a labyrinth filled with depraved sex, beau­ti­ful death, and won­der­fully hor­ri­ble sights. You’ve been given the mark, now step into the heart of…PAINFREAK.”

INTO PAINF­REAK will be avail­able on 12÷12÷16. Look for it at http://​necrop​ub​li​ca​tions​.com/​p...– and become lost in its seduc­tive monstrosities.

Corinne--Thanks for the link and sorry the one I posted didn't work. Are you a horror reader?

Somewhat. I like to be safely scared. I like to read a story and have my heart race and my eyes be wide open for a few days. But I like other stories also.
I've only read one work of yours. It was THE FAMILY UNDERWATER which blew me away. So I hunted down more of your work and bought Unnatural Acts And Other Stories which I haven't read yet.
I seem to only be able to fit in audio books while driving lately. Horror isn't always available on audio.

Lucy Taylor You might consider a subscription to Great Jones Street, an app for your phone that offers hundreds of short stories, not just horror but all kinds. The app even tells you how long it will take to read a particular story. GJS is new and a great way to access a ton of short fiction. My stories "Nikishi", "Wingless Beasts" and "Blessed Be the Bound" are all available there as well as a huge number of others.

I should "accidentally" drop my phone in the water and get something else. It's a Windows phone that doesn't get apps. This is the first time I really cared.

Hopefully others will read this and be able to enjoy GJS.

Thanks anyways. :)

Lucy Taylor In that case, Corinne, check out "In the Cave of the Delicate Singers" on Tor.com (July 2014); I will have another story "Sweetlings" on Tor.com next year May 3.
