The Canterbury Nightmares
is a new anthology of short stories inspired by — you guessed it! — the work
of Geoffrey Chaucer, edited by David Niall Wilson.
“Eleven travelers head out to visit the Grand Canyon, all motivated by their
own powerful, personal reasons. All have suffered profound losses; all harbor
secret but consuming agony. An old man taking a long-promised journey with his
wife. A congregation that has lost its way. Individuals of different
backgrounds and cultures, all dealing with grief, loss, and isolation. In
The Canterbury Nightmares, you will be led
not only to the soaring precipices of the Grand Canyon but also into deep,
dark, unimaginable recesses.”
The book is now available for pre-order — and the advance price for the Kindle edition (here) has been dropped to $2.99.
