Book Spotlight: Dark Arts Books Anthology
BOOK SPOTLIGHT
by Martin Mundt, John Everson, Bill Breedlove and Jay Bonansinga
Released at the World Horror Convention in 2006, Dark Arts Books’ debut title features three “new and used” stories each from four Chicago horror authors.
Ranging from the insanely funny to the chillingly creepy, the book garnered the following notice in the Years’s Best F&Hanthology the following year:
“A few of the originals are utterly tasteless and utterly hilarious, particularly one each by Martin Mundt and Bill Breedlove.”
-Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror 2007
Candy in the Dumpster opens with another dark voice from Chicago — Mort Castle, who wrote in his introduction:
“…And though each is a unique perspective and unique voice, they all have that “tongue in cheek” (not necessarily one’s own), satirical, never say “die” when you can say “maim” kind of thinking that we find in those works of horror likely to reside and resound within the reader’s consciousness for a long, long time.”
-From the Introduction by Mort Castle
