Slivers of Bone

Slivers of Bone is the first full-length collection from Ray Garton in almost a decade! Featuring over 500 pages of original, brand new dark fiction (including two new novellas that weigh in at 100 pages of never-before-read fiction!), as well as classic and hard-to-find reprints, this will be a lengthy and stunning collection of horror and dark suspense!

From Booklist

In 2006, the World Horror Convention proclaimed Garton a Grand Master for his long, prolific career in the genre. In his first collection of short fiction in nearly a decade, he offers more than 500 pages of out-of-print and heretofore unpublished work. Except in a few forays into the supernatural, Garton keeps his dark imaginings within the realm of possibility, though not without plenty of mayhem and gore. His protagonists range from ordinary middle-class couples and computer geeks to traumatized businessmen and addled authors driven to murderous impulses. In “The Guy Down the Street,” several suburban parents discover that a reclusive neighbor has been filming porn videos of their teenaged daughters; they plot his grisly demise. “411” recounts the fate of a wheelchair-bound information operator who overhears the commission of a double homicide and unwittingly leads the killer to her home. Garton has a knack for crisp dialogue and chillingly rendered description that works its way under the skin and uncomfortably remains there. A first-rate compendium of masterfully crafted horror. --Carl Hays
