‘THE CALIFORNIA BUTCHER’ AND ‘INANIMATE THINGS: VOL. 1’

BURIAL BOOKS PRESENTS…

A troubled schoolteacher stumbles upon a fetish website and begins a journey of pleasure and madness. In this modern-day version of Sacramento, deeply flawed people search for love while a serial killer stalks the State of California.

Horror author Stephen Rhoades delivers a terrifying and dark novel that will linger in your mind long after you put the book down. A psychological thriller from one of the newest voices in horror.

Review:

“This novel is a creepfest. It combines psychological horror and brutally gruesome scenes that will leave you feeling like you’ve been through an emotional wringer. I mean that in a good way of course…”

I love a horror book that has a lot of layers. This isn’t about just one character but many and each gets their own arc during the novel. Your feelings towards certain characters will change as time goes on. The protagonist/antagonist relationships are blurred and takes you in directions you would have never thought of or expected. That makes this book tense and engaging as you’re never sure what’s going to happen next with any of them.

This one is fantastic, multilayered, and gruesome and will give you the chills. I highly recommend it.”

And Releasing on February 1st…

Zombie pirates, living toys, medical equipment, and mannequins. These are just a few of the things that can tear you apart. Enjoy these stories and try not to disparage the things you see just because you don’t think they’re conscious. You could insult a psychopathic thing that you never expected would murder your family tonight.

Stories by acclaimed horror authors Jason Fischer, Justin Hunter, Chelsea Pumpkins, Victor Aldritch, Brett Mitchell Kent, M.J. McClymont, Alan Bax, and Stephen Rhoades. The first in an ongoing series.

Review:

“This might be the first great horror anthology of the year. It’s a great blend of traditional, speculative, and gruesomely weird horror. There’s something in here for everyone no matter what type of horror you enjoy. Or, like myself, just enjoy each one for what it is. There’s no weak stories, that’s for sure…

These stories are extremely creative and well written. I love a good story where the author uses their imagination to give us something different and unique. The authors in this anthology do that very thing. And despite the truly terrifying nature of these tales, there’s a surprising amount of touching heartfelt moments in some of them. Can you feel sympathetic towards the bad thing that’s stalking its victims? Well, yes. And you’ll find that out as you’re reading.

Some of these stories are short and some are longer but none of them overstay their welcom. Each one is the length it needs to be in order to tell the story it wants. But the editor did a fantastic job in placing them as such so a longer story is followed by a shorter one. As with any anthology being able to read one or two stories at a time is perfect on those busy days. So great job there!

You’ll enjoy this anthology for the scares but also for the obvious talent these authors display. It’s an eclectic, frightening, razor sharp collection of bone chilling horrors and I highly recommend it.”
