An Assembly of Monsters

By Danielle Ackley-McPhail
An Assembly of Monsters by Danielle Ackley-McPhail digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Monstrous Is a Matter of Perspective...

Classic tales throughout time pit humanity against creatures of the night, beyond mortal understanding. But what-or who-makes a monster? Folklore has its tales to tell, but might there be a different view? We present fifteen tales inspired by the masters of the macabre, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, paying tribute to their vision of Gothic horror.

In conjunction with the Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, we bring you stories by:

James Chambers * David Lee Summers * Aaron Rosenberg * Keith R.A. DeCandido * Hildy Silverman * Doc Coleman * Jessica Lucci * Dana Fraedrich * Ef Deal * Teel James Glenn * Christine Norris * Danielle Ackley-McPhail * Rachel A. Brune * Michelle D. Sonnier * John L. French

With an introduction by bestselling author, Dacre Stoker, great grandnephew of Bram Stoker
