Story in Best New Horror 31
It’s an honour to have my story ‘Wake the Dead’ included in Best New Horror #31, edited by Stephen Jones and published by PS Publishing.
You can get the limited edition hardback edition or a trade paperback edition – but, if you pre-order the hardback now, you’ll get the paperback included! That way you can keep the snazzy copy and gift the paperback to a friend.
