Survivor and Other Modern Nightmares: Stories of Horror and American Dread

Stories of Horror and American Dread

In Survivor and Other Modern Nightmares, the first collection of horror stories from multigenre author Jeff Deck, living through modern times offers as much material for fear and revulsion as any monster. Deck's stories hold up a weird fiction mirror to the bigotry and hate surging through twenty-first century America.

You'll meet pitiless and malevolent gods, killer machines, creatures of the deep sea and earth, demons and devils, terrors from other worlds, and even a dreadful being from the Lovecraft Mythos, in these tales. There will be, um, blood.

But you'll also meet characters pushing themselves to survive in the most dire circumstances. People whose humanity is put to the test-a test that some fail. For others, it's their opportunity to shine. How would you react if you were in their shoes?

Turns out existential dread is a little more bearable when you can throw in a monster or two.
