New Edition of FUGUE DEVIL: RESURGENCE


In a new agreement with Black Raven Books, the original publisher of my short fiction collection, Fugue Devil: Resurgence, I have reacquired the rights to it and created a brand-new edition of the book, both paperback and ebook. It's the same collection, with essentially the same packaging, apart from minor decorative changes and a slightly smaller font for the interior (plus a few typo corrections). The price for both the paperback and ebook remains the same ($15.99 and $7.99, respectively).

ABOUT
FUGUE DEVIL: RESURGENCE
...
If you know about the Fugue Devil, it knows about you.
If you see the Fugue Devil, it will come for you.


Many decades ago, summoned by the power of music, the Fugue Devil — a dreadful, malevolent entity from another place — entered our world. Every seventeen years, it reappears to satiate its hunger for unsuspecting souls.

Author Stephen Mark Rainey’s terrifying novelette, “Fugue Devil,” originally appeared in his first fiction collection, Fugue Devil & Other Weird Horrors, in 1992. Now, Fugue Devil: Resurgence features the original novelette; its sequel, “The Devil’s Eye,” and ten more tales of horror and mind-bending terror.

“The Fugue Devil”: A thrilling midnight adventure turns into a dawning horror for two boys.
“Threnody”: A dirge for the dead; if you hear it, it’s too late.
“Night Crier”: A terror in the night that echoes through the years.
“Hell’s Hollow:” Hell is just a stone’s throw away.
“Masque of the Queen”: To read the play brings on madness, to perform the play…
“Somewhere, My Love”: Her music cast a spell because, of course, she was a witch.
“When Jarly Calls”: In this wine lies the darkest truth.
“Messages From a Dark Deity”: When the stars are right, the sky will fall.
“Short Wave”: Voices from the static hint at horrors to come.
“Escalation”: “I am John, your host. I have much to look forward to,” he said with a grotesque smile.
“Pons Devana”: Something inhuman from the future lurks in the shadows of the past…
“The Devil’s Eye”: Will capturing the image of a devilish horror render it powerless? Or simply draw its inescapable gaze to you?
