"Luciano Marano writes with a punchy crime lilt, but his fiction is pure horror. Gargoyle Safari is his debut collection and feels almost like a throwback to Matheson, King, and Barker—a classical that feels like a warm blanket. Lots of great stories "

How to Survive a Horror Story: A Novel:
"My wife picked this up for me randomly. I thought it would be a little cutesy based upon the cover and the book design, but I couldn't have been more wrong. How to Survive a Horror Story is a solid mystery tale, filled with interesting, flawed charac"

“You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: ' With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning.

We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
