Начало книги

I wrote an introduction for Matt Hults’ wonderful debut novel HUSK, and made reference to a story he wrote called ‘Anything Can be Dangerous.’ Matt keeps telling me that he loves the intro and that it makes him laugh every time he reads it. At some point it occurred to Matt that he wanted the story I mentioned to be made available, and he asked me to put together a little one-story sampler, selling me on the concept that it would make a great promotional tool for his novel. Being the grumpy old fart that I am I tried to blow Matt off, telling him that I was far too busy to promote his book in any way, shape, or form. I think my exact words were, You promote the stupid thing… I’m tired and drunk; get out of my face. Of course, this didn’t go over too well and he successfully managed to twist my rubber arm and get me to do something intelligent.

I set aside the things I was currently working on, including the paperback version of Husk, along with the upcoming titles Zombie Kong, Living Death Race 2000, Into Hell, Best New Zombie Tales #3, Best New Vampire Tales #1 (paperback), the paperback version of my sophomore novel Terror Town, the ebook version of my first novel The Dead Parade, Best New Werewolf Tales #1, plus the re-release of Gary Brandner’s famous ‘The Howling’ trilogy—book one, two, and three.
