Wood (Tales from Beyond the Closet)

"Good" furniture is so hard to find. Townspeople applauded as the three murderous sisters strapped to the old oak begged for their lives. Soon, a blaze engulfed their bony, haggard figures. The next morning, the tree was found completely intact, and the tethered bodies were gone. The wood of that old oak tree now stands on an orange rug, in the middle of Henry and Jason's living room, as their coffee table. And the evil sisters that plagued the town three hundred years ago now have their eyes set on a new generation of victims.A bedtime story for those who crave a little blood and gore with their milk and cookies; Dalton Primeaux's Wood is campy, gory, and terrifying."Gory and graphic scenes with relatable characters and it's a unique story. [...] I would recommend if you need to get out of a reading funk." - SimbaReads"What a bizarre little book this is. [...] The story itself is unique which was refreshing. It’s a pretty fun little read if you need something weird to pick you up." - Book Reviews By J"I would recommend this book to anyone who loves horror and it had a great twist which is awesome." - Beer, Books and BoosTales from Beyond the ClosetThese darkly humorous tales celebrate LGBTQIA+ culture, address societal terrors, while blending the whimsy of children's horror with adult themes and unforgivable carnage.Each story introduces an inclusive and highly relatable cast of characters, along with imaginative plotlines that occasionally tip into the realm of the absurd. From haunted coffee tables to a menacing seven-year-old and ravenous plants, every tale is saturated with blood, gore, and sly social commentary. While often infused with humor, these books consistently induce nightmares, ensuring that they will linger in your thoughts well into the night and perhaps prompt a call to your therapist the next morning.Dalton Primeaux decided back in 2019 to add a little blood and gore to his once predominately fashion-focused writing repertoire with his first novelette, Daddy, Why Are You Biting Me?, which reached #3 on Amazon’s best sellers list in LGBT fiction in September of 2019. The story was re-released in 2020. His LGBTQIA+ horror collection Don't Be a Wuss! kicked off with Wood released in December 2020 and Whipped in June 2021.
