All The Stars Die

Modern horror's King of Pain, the World Fantasy Award-and Bram Stoker Award-nominated John F.D. Taff, joins Bad Hand Books with a collection of cosmic-horror novellas: All the Stars Die.

Here's just a taste of what to expect.

• “After the Cut, the Blood”: Talent doesn't always go hand-in-hand with desire, but two musical brothers take a dark path toward forcing the issue.
• “Her Mouth is filled with Secret Soup”: A boy's initial contact with a turn-of-the-century travelling medicine show reveals it's not just selling, it's conscripting labor.
• “Fin de Siècle”: An early 20th-Century occultist millionaire acquires the world's biggest telescope, not to see stars and planets but to open a doorway between worlds.
• “In the Dim Meadows, Desolate”: The old gods aren't dead and neither is their need for the love of man, but is the love he offers now enough?
• “All the Stars Die One by One”: NASA finally uncovers the true relationship between the earth and the moon, one that brings all mankind together at last.
• “Tell Me What it Means to Me”: Guilt and shame unites the people of a fractured small town together in one place... Midnight Land.
