Unspeakable Horror 2 Abominations Of Desire - Paperback

by Vince A. Liaguno (Author)

Desire- the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state. What happens when human desire twists...bends...warps...mutates? What happens when that desire is fed...or even starved? In this sequel to the Bram Stoker Award(R)-winning anthology, Editor Vince Liaguno assembles a literary pantheon from the LGBT and horror communities to explore the dark underbelly of desire. From unrequited love and repressed lust to consuming grief and the unquenchable thirst of addiction...from unfathomable sexual undergrounds to unspeakable perversions creeping into everyday suburbia, these abominations of desire will leave you gasping for breath and your taste for terror satiated. Contributors: Gemma Files, Laird Barron, Stephen Graham Jones, Lee Thomas, Helen Marshall, David Nickle, Lisa Morton, Norman Prentiss, Greg Herren, Tom Cardamone, Marshall Moore, Evan J. Peterson, Chad Helder, Brad Hodson, Michael Hacker, R.B.Payne, Martel Sardina, Martin Rose, and Erastes.
