Four Nails in the Coffin

by Mark Wheaton

A childless couple in Indiana suddenly can't remember the events of any previous Tuesday...a police dog with the Pittsburgh police must save the planet from a monstrous Armageddon...a group of young teens bands together when a mad priest sets his sights on Divine Intervention...a Deputy Sheriff on the Texas-Mexican border gets more than she bargained for when pursuing three escaped convicts into the high desert.  These are the novellas that make up Four Nails in the Coffin , a dark journey into the bizarre, the profane, the often horrifying and the occasionally humorous from bestselling indie horror author, screenwriter and graphic novelist, Mark Wheaton.

Praise for Four Nails in the Coffin :

"This is muscular, original fiction that marks the debut of an exciting new voice in the speculative/dark fantasy genre." - Michael Rowe, editor of the Queer Fear anthology series

"Wheaton's writing is haunting. Days, weeks, even months later, you will find your mind returning to his worlds. Stephen King is no longer my only addiction." - Todd Farmer, screenwriter, Drive Angry in 3D

"His tales are visceral, intellecutal and often grisly, but Wheaton never forgets that touch of humanity and wry humor which allows true horror to cut that much deeper to the bone." - Ken Plume, author, There's a Zombie in My Treehouse
