Whiskey and Other Unusual Ghosts debuts a meteoric new voice in modern dark fiction. In these tales, you'll discover the humanity of horror, and the traumas that birth ghosts of all kinds. From inner demons to the bloodied fields of war, Edwards maintains his unique voice while whispers of classic writers such as Arthur Machen and Thomas Ligotti shine through. Edwards enters the contemporary dark fiction crowd with a standout collection that is likely to cement his position amongst the modern greats.
With a new introduction to the second edition by Mer Whinery, the original introduction by Gwendolyn Kiste, and artwork by Yves Tourigny.
S.L. Edwards is a natural storyteller, with a keen command of voice, a delightfully twisted imagination and a wily, prodigious intellect. Whiskey and Other Unusual Ghosts lives up to its inventive title with tales of hauntings that are chilling, funny, moving and-quite often-all three at once. I loved this collection. - Jon Padgett, author of The Secret of Ventriloquism
In these perfectly constructed, intimately detailed, and emotionally charged tales, Edwards isolates the silent horrors underscoring our lives and woven into our closest relationships, urging them to take psychological and physical form. In the cold hours before dawn his creatures rise, arch their backs, and begin the search for sustenance, feeding off of childhood fears and lifelong grievances. Hidden in memories, abandoned rooms, and forgotten trails, adorned with the fantasies we invent to conceal their nature, our monsters merely postpone the moment of revelation until we're far too vulnerable to escape. - S.P. Miskowski, author of The Worst Is Yet to Come
