Historia
Four girls lost in the big, bad woods. Four girls hunted by primeval monsters. Four girls trapped in a deadly, ancient ritual of sacrifice. To stay alive until dawn will mean using every scrap of instinct and skill they possess. Civilization no longer exists for them. They must become just as bloodthirsty and predatory as the creatures that stalk them.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

Four brand-new horror novellas all about books, stories, manuscripts—the written word has never had sharper teeth. In The Skin of Her Teeth, a cursed novel drives people to their deaths. A delivery job turns deadly in The Dark Brothers' Last Ride. In This Book Belongs to Olo, a lonely child has dangerous control over an usual pop-up book. A choose-your-own adventure game spirals into an uncanny reality in The Story. Full of creepy suspense, these collected novellas are perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Stephen King, and Joe Hill.

Historia
Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....

Resumen del Editor
What sinister beings live behind the mirror’s reflection? Can the apocalypse bleed from the pages of a notebook and into the real world? What terrible cost must be paid when one steals from the realm of dreams? These are just some of the questions presented in this collection of the macabre.
The Coffin Maker, your host and guide, presents 12 ghastly tales from two of the most gifted voices in modern horror. Curtis M. Lawson (Devil’s Night, Black Heart Boys Choir) and Joshua Rex (The Descent, The Inamorta) weave the beautiful and the grotesque into rich tapestries, both chilling and fantastic. Sometimes hopeful. Often bleak. Always overbrimming with darkness.
The Coffin Maker’s Book of Dark Tales is a must-listen for fans of classic and contemporary horror alike.

Grab a hammer and some coffin nails!
"The Coffin Maker's Book of Dark Tales" is a magnificent compilation of twelve ghastly stories from the realms of modern horror. Curtis M. Lawson and Joshua Rex, two highly gifted voices in the genre, have joined forces to craft a collection that seamlessly weaves the beautiful and the grotesque into a rich tapestry of chilling and fantastical tales. This audiobook, narrated by John Walker, is a journey into the depths of darkness, where sinister beings, apocalyptic nightmares, and haunting questions await.
Curtis M. Lawson, known for his works like "Devil's Night" and "Black Heart Boys Choir," and Joshua Rex, the mastermind behind "The Descent" and "The Inamorta," take the listener on a mesmerizing and chilling adventure.

The collection's host and guide, the enigmatic Coffin Maker, introduces each story, setting the stage for the listener to embark on a journey into the unknown. As the audiobook unfolds, the listener is invited to explore a wide range of horror sub-genres, from gothic tales of sinister governesses to Lovecraftian horrors, ghostly encounters, and more.

It's the kind of horror that resonates deep within your psyche, lingering long after the last story has concluded.
The stories within this collection explore a wide spectrum of emotions, from trauma to heartbreak, and they often employ dark humor that is as chilling as it is sardonic. As the protagonists navigate uncanny situations and unearth terrifying secrets, they do so with a childlike sense of wonder, making their descent into darkness all the more unsettling. It's like watching someone play with lit matches in an abandoned TNT factory, knowing that disaster is inevitable.

He introduces each story with solemn descriptions of what lies ahead, setting the mood for the listener.
While the collection may not be as tightly themed as some anthologies, it still maintains a certain level of cohesion. The Coffin Maker's character, akin to a host, ties the stories together, much like recurring characters in classic horror comics. Moreover, the stories themselves contain subtle connections that astute readers may pick up on, such as references to Curtis M. Lawson's novel "Black Heart Boys' Choir" or a story set in the same location and time as "Devil's Night."
The Coffin Maker's presence adds an element of continuity to the audiobook, giving it a unique flavor and making it more than just a collection of disparate tales. It's as if the Coffin Maker is weaving a sinister tapestry, each story a thread contributing to the overall design.

Such a great collection of ruin and despair...
As a fan of Curtis Lawson's books such as his Bad World series, Devil's Night and The Devoured, I was intrigued what an anthology of dark supernatural tales by him and horror vet Joshua Rex would look like. What it turned out to be was an engaging collection of stories that run the gamut of themes and outcomes, some of which are personal and limited in scope, and some of which have world altering consequences.
Both authors bring their own unique voices to bear, and what we get is a collection of stories ranging from seeing a couple escape from a cult and the effect it has on their lives, to a camping trip in the woods, where the darkness of those woods comes from an unexpected source and has tragic and horrifying consequences from the campers. There are stories dealing with cosmic horrors brought to being through a lost author's journal in a kind of meta commentary on the power of imagination, and stories about the horrors that lie on the other side of the mirror.
These stories and more make up this collection, and I have to say, there is not a weak story in the bunch. The characters are shockingly well rounded for short fiction, and the pacing and plots are taut and engaging. Some of the stories are straight up horror, and some are more suspenseful and atmospheric, and they all work regardless. While there is a grim, foreboding feel to the book overall, there is humor sprinkled throughout, and I was shocked that every story didn't end with death and ruin, but with hope or redemption instead in some. This collection is one I would recommend to anyone looking for well written, engaging stories that let ones dark imagination off the leash.
