Since his first novel, Moondeath, was published in 1980, Rick Hautala's novels and stories have entertained millions of readers around the world.
Now, as a companion volume to Bedbugs, his first career-spanning collection of short stories (Cemetery Dance Publications, 1999) Cemetery Dance is proud to present Occasional Demons.
And once again, like Bedbugs, award-winning artist and Cemetery Dance favorite Glenn Chadbourne has illustrated every one of the more than two dozen stories, which include collaborations with Matthew Costello, Jim Connolly, his sons Jesse and Matti, and someone named A.J. Matthews.
In the midst of normal life, whether it's a tree house in a small Maine town, a fog-shrouded lighthouse, or a darkened tavern on a rain-swept night in October, there are demons. Some of them lurk in the darkest corners of a house. Some of them lurk in our hearts and minds. We might, on occasion, catch a glimpse of them, but all too often it's too late to save ourselves...
And they're all gathered here. In fact, within these pages, you'll find a demon for just about any occasion.
