Truly Disturbing Horror Novels & Short Stories for Horror Enthusiasts

Books are said to make you smart. This book will make you, well, uncomfortable. This collection of crude tales distinctly promises to satiate the yearnings of only the most aberrant of readers. With the first release of his anthology, author J.R. Hamantaschen actualizes an existence in which one would find the macabre to be merely mundane and where what is typically deemed taboo can be found very commonplace...  check it out and see what I mean. :)   -Alissa

You Shall Never Know Security

By J.R. Hamantaschen

West Pigeon Press, 2011

For years, J.R.'s stories have been acclaimed throughout the independent horror world. These are stories that challenge expectations and reject the staid conventions of the genre. These are stories that don't compromise.

Above all, what readers understood and appreciated was that these stories were about something. These are stories that, in the finest tradition of H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Dennis Etchison, and T.E.D. Klein, articulate what you've always suspected: that life is a losing proposition.

For the first time, after much demand, J.R.'s surviving stories have been collected in one anthology. West Pigeon Press is proud to unleash these stories upon the world.

"J.R.'s fiction is raw, startling, and dark. The best examples of his work -- stories such as "Jordan, When Are You Going to Settle Down, Get Married and Have Us Some Children?" and "Endemic" -- make readers squirm with discomfort, wondering how far the boundaries can be pushed before they break. J.R.’s work isn't comfortable fiction, but it's as often as not thought-provoking fiction wrapped around a grimly philosophical edge."

-- Dru Pagliassotti, editor of The Harrow Press, author of An Agreement with Hell.
