Dreams of Thanatos is a collection of macabre short horror fiction that will keep you awake at night!Supernatural demons, murderers and ghosts roam these pages although the most horrifying aspect Cook describes, is the dark soul of humanity. Whether writing about the psychological horrors of modern life, or things that go ‘bump in the night,’ Cook’s writing is always “intense” and often “visceral” in his portrayal of the macabre.Included in this collection of fifteen stories is a novelette (Dead and Buried) and the origin story (Legacy: The Eternal Now and Thereafter) behind the novel, Blood Related.Recommended for adult readers only. Contains scenes of psychological and supernatural horror"William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction, after all."– Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant“This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related. Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over. He is a unique and innovative talent.”– Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Flesh Eaters and Dog DaysAbout King Billy PublicationsKing Billy Publications exclusively publish the dark literary fiction and psychological horror stories of William Cook.
