Book Description
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!

Book Description
Arthurian legends are reborn in this upbeat queer urban fantasy with a mystery at its heart The knights of the round table are alive in Vancouver, but when one winds up dead, it’s clear the familiar stories have taken a left turn. Hildie, a Valkyrie and the investigator assigned to the case, wants to find the killer — and maybe figure her life out while she’s at it. On her short list of suspects is Wayne, an autistic college student and the reincarnation of Sir Gawain, who these days is just trying to survive in a world that wasn’t made for him. After finding himself at the scene of the crime, Wayne is pulled deeper into his medieval family history while trying to navigate a new relationship with the dean’s charming assistant, Burt — who also happens to be a prime murder suspect. To figure out the truth, Wayne and Hildie have to connect with dangerous forces: fallen knights, tricky runesmiths, the Wyrd Sisters of Gastown. And a hungry beast that stalks Wayne’s dreams. The Winter Knight is a propulsive urban fairy tale and detective story with queer and trans heroes that asks what it means to be a myth, who gets to star in these tales, and ultimately, how we make our stories our own.
