BLACK PILLS IS OUT NOW!

BLACK PILLS 7 TALES TO ASTONISH AND CONFOUND! by Garth Jones

Get it here.

BLACK PILLS is a collection of genre-bending short fiction exploring the unmitigated sh*tshow that is our present reality.

The purple prose is thick, but this is a fine tribute to the man. To think Vince Neil still walks the earth with Peter sixteen years gone. No justice.
