PUBLISHER: Subterranean Press EDITION: Signed Numbered Limited Edition Hardcover PRICE: $90 Dust jacket illustration by Jeffrey Alan Love About the Book: Time slips. Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. These eleven twisted tales of the macabre from the bestselling author of The Chalk Man and The Burning Girls are your perfect companions on a dark night…if you’re brave enough. Join a group of survivors who wash up on a deserted island only to make a horrifying discovery. Meet a cold-hearted killer who befriends a strange young girl at a motorway service station. But can a leopard ever change her spots? Enter a block of flats with the most monstrous of occupants and accompany a ruthless estate agent on a house sale that goes apocalyptically wrong. In “Final Course” the world has descended into darkness, but a group of old friends make time for one last dinner party. “Runaway Blues” tells a tale of thwarted love, revenge, and something very nasty stowed in a hat box. And “I’m Not Ted” sees a case of mistaken identity result in hellish consequences. Welcome to A Sliver of Darkness, which Publishers Weekly says “provides plenty of subtle chills,” while Booklist, in a starred review, says “it’s what Tudor does with her material that makes the stories special. None of them go where we think they will go; there’s always some twist, some change in direction, that makes us sit up in surprise (or shock).” Limited: 300 signed numbered hardcover copies
