The Mind's Plague and Other Bites of Brutality

Welcome to The Mind's Plague, may your thoughts be infected with gore-encrusted brutality. Ten stories where terrible things happen to (mostly) good people. Urban legends, offerings to the Old Ones, zombies just trying to get by, celebrity stalkers gone crazy, haunted nightmares engulfing reality; these are the rotting entrails of the Plague. "Each tale held me captive and caused my stomach to churn as different scenes and characters put my mind through a wringer of dread and body parts." "This is a collection of 10 brilliantly evil and deeply visceral short stories, which by the way should be savored and not rushed." "If you enjoy horror dripping with dark humour, characters with some pretty heavy baggage, real-life situations twisted into the grotesque until they barely resemble anything coherent and are as gross as they are brilliant, then you'll love these." "Tanner writes with such imagery that it's nearly impossible to not see all the events unfolding in your mind as the terror rages on." Three friends search for an infamous internet video of an urban legend with devastating consequences; a passionate drummer joins the band of his dreams, or perhaps his nightmares; a man tries to find fame in a world where the mundane call the shots; and a grieving father loses his grip on reality. These ten stories delve into a world of darkness and suffering, where the terrors are more vivid than they may appear. Blood is spilt, minds are destroyed, as madness ultimately reigns victorious.
