Publisher: Carnifex Press Format: Trade Paperback Length: 102 pages Description: A new horror novella from Christopher Fulbright and Angeline Hawkes. "With Then Comes the Child Angeline Hawkes and Christopher Fulbright pull off something of a magic trick; not only have they created a story of extreme horror that would make Brian Keene and Clive Barker wince in more than a few places, they have taken some very familiar horror tropes and turned them inside-out, making the so-called 'old-hat' seem new and fresh and vibrant -- and vibrancy permeates this suspenseful, erotic, horrific, and unsettlingly feverish novella. If all extreme horror had this much grace, style, and intelligence, I'd read a hell of a lot more of it." --Gary A. Braunbeck "Take Angeline Hawkes’ penchant for the fantastic and mix in Christopher Fulbright’s gritty, dark vision and what do you have? Then Comes the Child is the best work by either author. It is compelling and chilling and will not let you put it down. Reading it, you can see that this literary couple are the perfect complement to one another and, God help us, separate or collaborating, Hawkes and Fulbright have become a force to watch." -- Steven E. Wedel, Author of Shara and Murdered by Human Wolves "A gritty, realistic tale, well told by two writers that fuse to speak in a fascinating voice...one worth hearing from again. An excellent yarn of horror and the humans enmeshed in it." -- Steven L. Shrewsbury, author of GODFORSAKEN, THOROUGHBRED, and BLACK RIBBON OF JOSEPHINE Retail price: $12.95 Dennis and Alison Walker will do almost anything to have a child. Their woeful yearning even touches the lives of their families and friends; so much so, that while on a writing assignment in Benin, friend and co-worker, Wesley, purchases a stone statue of a fertility demon from a Voodoo priest as a gesture of hope for the couple. Hope isn’t the only thing that Dennis brings into the house with Wesley’s gift. When Alison begins behaving strangely, seducing Dennis at odd hours of the night, it becomes violently clear that a destructive supernatural presence has invaded the Walker’s lives. Then comes the child longed for, prayed for, and desperately desired. But is little Jamie everything that Dennis and Alison have ever wanted? Or is the coming of the child only the beginning of a hellish nightmare? “It's a nasty piece of work -- in the best sense. Disturbing as hell; extreme horror with a high I.Q. and a compassionate heart. I read it in one sitting. It's a wonderful, creepy, and ultimately haunting piece of work, and will be, methinks, much talked-about.” – Gary Braunbeck, Bram Stoker Award winner and author of Destinations Unknown and Prodigal Blues “Imagine Rosemary's Baby shrouded in a patina of voodoo, or Damien with wings and a tail...Fulbright and Hawkes don't deliver the devil's child, exactly, here...but they do deliver something deliciously wicked: a bloody good read!” – John Everson, author of Covenant and Failure “Then Comes the Child is a wild, wonderful voodoo horror thrill ride that grips the reader by the throat and doesn't let go until the last word of the last page. It's a story filled with sex, blood, and baby toys. Damien, meet Jamie. You two would make a lovely couple!” – Robert Weinberg, author of The Black Lodge, The Dead Man’s Kiss and The Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy based on the Vampire: the Masquerade RPG Armand Rosamilia www.CarnifexPress.net/store.php |
