Kelli Owen's debut collection returns Featuring a foreword by Thomas F.
Monteleone Horror is pessimism at its bleakest.
Worst-case scenario.
The darker side of reality.
The glass half-empty.
The situation unfathomable.
In Black Bubbles, Kelli Owen presents classic genre tropes--ghosts, murderers, zombies, what you'd expect (sans sharks)--but it's the characters, rather than the tropes, that experience the story, speak of the horrors, and sometimes survive the inevitable.
Sometimes.
A decades-old crime shocks a family as evidence points to one of their own.
An ancient evil hitchhikes its way to freedom.
A child has an unusual fascination with decay.
A woman excuses premeditation.
Death takes a holiday.
Science and good intentions make horrific bedfellows.
A man hides from nightmares that invade his waking world.
Kelli Owen's first collection gathers over 60, 000 words, including a handful of out-of-print, difficult-to-find previously published work, a plethora of new pieces, story notes, drawings inspired by the title story, and an introduction by the legendary Thomas Monteleone.
