Shameless self promotion*, on September 26th I self publish my first 'true' collection of short stories. "A Sanctuary of Bones and Ash" compiles 14 short, strange tales and a single act play. Half where previously printed in my chapbook "Rebirth and Other Aberrations" and are presented here in expanded and revised form, however the other half of the tales are brand new. The tales herein I suspect may be of interest to some TLO dwellers.
Cover art by the impeccable Don Noble.
Will be available in paperback or on Kindle via Amazon*.
"One black dawn at the edge of time, the cosmos withered and died.
From amid its festering corpse wax, horrors innumerable blossom.
A pallbearer hearkens a broadcast premonition of his own demise...
The spirituous harvest of the writhing Lacuna tree...A seventeenth
century duke racked with woe, haunted by the town he helped
destroy...The final journey of the midnight express along the
doomed Necropolis line...The death rattles of a terrible god
incarnate, caught on VHS, found in the guts of a snuff website
known as A SANCTUARY OF BONES AND ASH.
Presented in this debut collection of fifteen strange stories by
Zac Hawkins.
“Stories of Lovecraftian doom, some a melancholy filled
consideration, with a sprinkling of English folklore. Monsters and
ghouls and hauntings of past times. Vivid, elaborate, descriptions
with some really nice prose scattered throughout.
Left me wanting more”
-Jack Stark, Author of Creases and the Ma Shen Folk Tales Trilogy"

*Apologies if this is not the correct sub forum for self promotion, it seemed to be the best bet with a few of the socials sub forums locked.
**Not how I would like to do it, but on my budget for self publishing it's my only realistic option.
