Well, what can I say about my own collection of short stories and poems? This was the first book we published through Bards and Sages. I figured that if I was going to experiment I should use myself as a guinea pig.
The bulk of the book is dedicated to the novella September. Set in the early 1920's, the novella follows the exploits of the Collins sisters as they embark on a journey to Cairo to excavate an ancient tomb. Told from the perspective of the youngest sister Natasha, this Lovecraft-inspired tale is part campy pulp adventure, part dark fantasy. Sand monsters, mummies, giant scorpions, and a few other surprises await readers as Natasha and her sisters attempt to outwit the evil that is accidentally unleashed.
There are 15 other poems and stories in the collection as well. From a dinner date with a potential demon to a revenge-seeking werewolf, this collection offers plenty of frights for horror fans.
