That’s kind of how I would elevator pitch this book. It’s like Grave Encounters with more…
If I told you I’d read a book featuring The Society of the Living Dead, coffins that glow in the dark even after being buried for years, and young women with bodies that are literally rotting to pieces before their eyes, you might think I’m describing a horror novel—and reasonably so. But actually, it’s non-fiction.…
If you thought This Is Where We Talk Things Out was anxiety inducing, wait until you read the first and titular story in Marceau’s upcoming short horror fiction collection, A Blackness Absolute.
