When Graveyards Yawn

Anyone who's been chilled by August Derleth's collection of superb supernatural ghost stories of revenge from beyond the grave will understand the nature of this new modern collection that pays homage to a master of the macabre. August Derleth's work of the same title went out as Mr George and Other Odd Persons and was first published by Arkham House in 1963. A UK paperback edition appeared from Tandem in 1965 retitled When Graveyards Yawn. There's a treasured yellowing copy of the Tandem book that has become well-pawed over the years in the Crowswing library. And unlike the 'Dead Man's Shoes' it's not for sale! This modern anthology features chilling tales from Canadian writer Michelle Ponto, and award-winning Australian, Geoff Maloney, and US writers Lisa DuMond and Paul Jessup. Plus there's a wealth of new, emerging and award-winning talent from British writers: Ken Alden, James Cooper, Gary Fry, Gary McMahon, David Murdock, John L Probert, Gary Power, Jeff Gardiner, David Riley, David A. Sutton, Peter Tennant and Sean Wright. The book contains 15 chilling tales: School of Fought by Gary Fry Hoody by David Riley Born to Run by Lisa DuMond Hollow Heart by James Cooper Poe Pourri by Gary McMahon Spectre At The Feast by Jeff Gardiner The Happiness of Pinned Wings by Paul Jessup The Comeback Kid by John L Probert Road To Hell by Gary Power Resting Place by Ken Alden The Soul Hunter by Michelle Ponto Confessions of Imray by Geoff Maloney Kagan Bang by David Murdoch La Ronde by Peter Tennant Zulu's War by David A Sutton Journey's End by Sean Wright
