Kissing Carrion »

In this first published collection of short stories from one of Canada's most talented rising stars of horror, Gemma Files takes us into a world of black magic and bleak desire. A world where obsession is stronger than death. Where body, soul, time and space itself, are all fluid and treacherous. Where living houses dream longingly of oblivion, and vampires ache for more than simply blood. A world where the only escape from the darkness within is to embrace it....
A world not so very different from our own.

Publishers Weekly

Kissing Carrion collects 17 tales by one of Canada's most promising new horror writers, Gemma Files. Praise from the not-easily-impressed Caitlin Kiernan, who provides an introduction, should help bring this to the attention of those who care about literate dark fiction.
