Dark: A Horror Anthology

Posted Sun, 12/06/2009 - 3:15pm by J. P. Moore

Two of my short stories will appear in Dark, an independent horror anthology.

"Palmistry" introduces Cairo, a celebrated spiritualist and master of the occult who counts the lords and ladies of Victorian England among his clients. Cairo steps onto my stage for the first time in this short story, which I wrote back in 2003. He will figure prominently in The Centennial Horror.

"When Jeb Killed a Man" pits a small group of cowboys against a tribe of demons in the American Southwest. And, at the risk of draining some of the suspense, Jeb kills a man. Like "Palmistry," this is an older story that is reaching forward, now, to shape the world of The Centennial Horror.

Release date is TBA, but keep an eye on the Dark blog for news and announcements.

"Toothless delivered."

The Podagogue loves Toothless!

Posted Thu, 08/27/2009 - 3:50pm by J. P. Moore

The Podagogue has reviewed Toothless ... and he loves it! 4 out of 5 stars, with a special extra award for "Awesome Prose!"

Toothless is "brutal, and ... utterly brilliant."

"[Moore spins] a tale of woe, loss, despair, and the dauntless face of human courage despite insurmountable and indescribable odds. Toothless struggles with his guilt and grasps desperately to the fleeting memories he still holds of his lost wife and daughter. In these memories, in the loves he knew as a man, are the seeds of his redemption, and therein lies the story of Toothless."
