Michael H. Price and Mark Evan Walker apply some wrenching twists to the pulp-fiction tradition in DARK BORDERLANDS, an anthology of unnerving short stories in the tradition of August Derleth's celebrated Arkham House collections. The tales prowl the gritty fringes of carnival freak shows, small-town drive-in theatres, haunted caverns and mansions, creepy passageways, and the varieties of madness that come to flower in the most unexpected places. Each story resonates with the tough talk of the benighted Southland, rendered authentic by the authors' own Southern heritage and experiences. "Every story resonates with the energy of a spook tale told around a campfire," says genre enthusiast James Maynard. Co-author Mark Evan Walker's elaborate illustrations provide the crowning touch, consistent with his work as a longtime favorite artist with ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE.
