The Beautiful Darkness

About the Book

For his newest collection of short stories, Steven Torchia has culled from the pages of history the strange and dramatic events which haunted the human race throughout the previous two thousand years. From the madness of the Roman Emperor Caligula to the bawdiness of Gold Rush-era San Francisco, from the political turmoil of Anglo-Norman England to the horrible brutality of the American Civil War, Mr. Torchia has been inspired to write twenty macabre tales which are guaranteed to shock and delight every reader who likes the dark and twisted side of literature.
