For day twenty-five of showcasing books published by Parallel Universe Publications it's Craig Herbertson's Christmas in the Workshouse & Other Gruesome Tales.
This is the second collection of stories written by Craig Herbertson to
be published by Parallel Universe Publications. A musician and
songwriter, Craig lives in Edinburgh with his partner and children.
Craig is one of the original authors included in the infamous Pan Book of Horror Stories series. Two of his stories received honourable mentions in Ellen Datlow's renowned lists - The Best Horror of the Year.
When not writing Craig is playing folk music, mostly Scottish, or
watching football.Some of the stories in this collection show the
influence of some of his favourite writers, including Philip K. Dick and
J. G. Ballard.
An ideal present for Christmas for
anyone who loves well-written, dark, sardonically macabre stories,
complete with several spot illustrations by Chrissie Demant and one
illustration by Craig himself. Published in hardcover (now OOP) with an
illustrated dustjacket, this is one of the best collections we have ever
published. It is still available as a paperback and kindle eBook.
