Bedtime Stories for Carrion Beetles

Nineteen tales of horror, mystery, supernatural suspense, and the weird West.

Visit a macabre secret museum where taxidermy and classic literature combine, discover the lengths one desperate mortuary assistant will go to for love, and learn why Jack McCall really killed Wild Bill Hickcok.
