Available for Pre-Order: THE SECRET OF VENTRILOQUISM by Jon Padgett
"Padgett proves with his stunning debut collection to be a worthy successor to the master, Thomas Ligotti. There's no gristle, no bone, no dilly-dallying here: only pure meat whose terrors seamlessly grow into the metaphysical. This volume is jam-packed with the stuff that nightmares are made of." - Dejan Ognjanovic, Rue Morgue Magazine "...a voice that lodges in the reader’s mind with colossal force and intensity, marking... this book as unforgettable." - Matt Cardin, from the Introduction "The Secret of Ventriloquism is horror with a capital H. Some of Padgett's lines raised the hair on my neck." -Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase Limited Edition Hardcover 150 copies Cover and interior art by Dave Felton With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti, and Bruno Shulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Jon Padgett's The Secret of Ventriloquism heralds the arrival of a significant new literary talent. Padgett’s work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence, and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both. A bullied child who seeks vengeance within a bed’s hollow box spring; a lucid dreamer haunted by an impossible house; a dummy that reveals its own anatomy in 20 simple steps; a stuttering librarian who holds the key to a mill town's unspeakable secrets; a commuter whose worldview is shattered by two words printed on a cardboard sign; an aspiring ventriloquist who spends a little too much time looking at himself in a mirror. And the presence that speaks through them all. Contents: Introduction by Matt Cardin The Mindfulness of Horror Practice Murmurs of a Voice Foreknown The Indoor Swamp Origami Dreams 20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism Infusorium Organ Void The Secret of Ventriloquism Escape to Thin Mountain Ships in October.
