Author Description

A married couple with an undead houseguest. A shape-shifting robot with a photographic memory. A gourmand mob boss with a taste for the unusual. Welcome to the world of Silent Screams. Containing twenty-six stories from a variety of fresh voices and industry veterans, Silent Screams is an anthology of dark speculative fiction focused on drawing awareness to the plight of those who are unable to speak for themselves. Simultaneously humane and forrific, each included tale presents a vision of the macabre animated by a beating heart of compassion. The world's voiceless victims cry out. If you listen closely enough, you just might hear them. "The stories lurking in this dark, grim anthology are wildly original and consistently excellent." -- Jeff Strand, author of Pressure and Dweller "Silent Screams cuts below the fatty tissue to the meat of those suffering silently. It's a brave, compelling and empathetic journey inside often-missed stories, and a terrific read." -- John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Nerves and Ghost Heart "Read this at your own peril. These stories sink their teeth into your marrow and haunt your bones." -- Gail. Z. Martin, author of The Shadowed Path
