Black Days & Bloody Nights, a collection of Greg Chapman’s acclaimed and original fiction: Is the world coming to an end, or is it all in Marion’s head? Would you let in a monster to save your child? A writer’s son is his most horrifying creation A videotape captures murder in a cemetery and threatens a detective A mother’s last will and testament reveals a diabolical pact A corpse and an eclipse usher in the end of all things In these stories, you’ll discover how the end comes to those who wait, and those who seek it out. Also included are Chapman’s acclaimed novellas, Torment and The Followers, and the short story, The Yellow House. With a Foreword by Steve Stred, author of Churn the Soil ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BLACK DAYS & BLOODY NIGHTS “Black Days and Bloody Nights delivers on its title with clear intent and dark creativity. Greg Chapman’s latest collection is bleak, horrific and utterly compulsive, spanning tales of religious fanaticism, possession, psychological torment, and the end of days. Often emotionally anchored in family dynamics, the stories are hellish whirlpools, sucking you into the grim, visceral world of Chapman’s imagination and holding you captive until each devastating maelstrom has played out. Black days and bloody nights, indeed.” —Geneve Flynn, two-time Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award winner “Black Days and Bloody Nights is a powerhouse collection of bleak horror stories full of religious zealots, psychological torment, and demonic forces. Read it, then find someone to hold you tight as you cry for all of humanity.” —Zac Ashford, Aurealis Award-nominated author of The Morass and Polyphemus “Rife with terror, tension and torment from the first story to the last, this collection shows the gifted Chapman at the top of his game.” —Kaaron Warren, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of Sky and The Grief Hole “Greg Chapman’s work not only combines vivid description with three dimensional characters you invest in, his stories make you think. Just the kind of horror I can get behind.” —Paul Kane, #1 bestselling, award-winning author of Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, Before and The Gemini Effect “Dark fiction that’ll have you riveted.” —Steve Stred, author of Churn the Soil
