Like Light for Flies
ByPublisher Description
A young boy is horrified to discover what his brother is really doing in their father's work shed. An old man whispers a word that sets his victim on the road to madness. A Victorian dandy and his dog might just save the world from the unspeakable denizens of an alternate dimension. In a house by a park, a religious zealot opens the gates of Hell. These twelve tales of psychological suspense and horror mix heart, brains, and balls to create a pulse-pounding literary experience. A finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best LGBT Speculative Fiction!.
"In this gripping horror collection, Thomas...slices open the underbelly of human nature with surgical precision to offer an unforgettable glimpse at the horrors just inside." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Thomas constructs his worlds brick by bloody brick mortared together with enough normalcy to make his twists and turns seem that much odder. Like Light for Flies is a collection of nightmares real enough to be dreamt tonight. Damn fine reading from a most excellent writer." - Out in Print
