TOME OF HORROR

About the Book

David Maurice Garrett‘s stories have been variously compared to Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, and Manly Wade Wellman. Drawing on legends, folktales, and a rich blend of classic short horror story elements, Garrett’s stories conjure supernatural terrors and gothic atmospheres reminiscent of the Elder Days of Horror. This collection contains 32 eerie tales including “The Undertaker’s Task”, a story of a mortician’s grim job of embalming his own daughter, “The Sacred Burial Ground”, wherein two hapless friends unleash an ancient curse upon a community, and “The Door”, in which a professor infatuated with tombs unwittingly becomes the victim of his own obsession. Prepare to be unnerved, for the classic horror tale is not dead!
