Chock full of hellishly good fun, Solitude Publication presents its very first title, an important collector's item for small press enthusiasts!

Mark McLaughlin, the Clown Prince of Horror, leads off this book with a flurry of witty and bizarre stories which has been his trademark in making him one of most well-known comedic authors working in the horror genre today. His stories include: "The Astonishing Secret of the King of Cats," "Connect the Dots," "Buzz," and "The Revelations of McDeth."

 

Shane Ryan Staley, known for being one of the most controversial authors in print today follows with a literary kick in the face with what many insiders have called one of the most offensive stories ever written, a novelette called "Swan Lake." Staley adds another 2 stories to the mix, including the nasty "The Thriller At Red Nook."

 

Rising star Brian Knight shows off his wicked side to the extreme with weird stories like "Slickpoo" and "Twisting in the Dust." For the growing legion of Knight fans, this is another side to the extremely talented author of Feral and Broken Angel.

 

And you ever wonder what happens when 3 sick individuals (with huge, twisted egos) calloborate together? Well, they kill each other off. Yes, during the writing of this new book, Mark McLaughlin killed off Shane Ryan Staley. Brian Knight killed off Mark McLaughlin and then Shane Ryan Staley rose from the dead to whack Brian Knight. All three murders are documented in the following stories:

 

"Give Us This Day Our Staley, Dead: Or, Gone With The Shane" by Mark McLaughlin

"The Casket of a Thousand Dildos" by Brian Knight

 

"Thirteen" by Shane Ryan Staley

 

Read firsthand how all three authors humiliate each other by killing one another off in the most horrible fashion!

 

At the Foothills of Frenzy & Other Freakish Forays is a must-have for serious fans of the hardcore, the humorous and extreme.
