After canceling the circus's itinerary because a hostile stranger is hunting the ringmaster, the troupes' hopes fall on Webern Bell, hunchback devoted to perfecting the surreal clown performances from his dreams.
Twenty-two genre-bending short stories of the strange and surreal from the Bram Stoker, World Fantasy, and International Horror Guild Award–winning author. Steve Rasnic Tem is the celebrated author of award-winning horror novels and short story collections such as Blood Kin and City Fishing. But the stories featured in Celestial Inventories showcase his ability to defy genre with imaginative works of the fantastic. These stories cross conventional boundaries between science fiction, fantasy, horror, literary fiction, bizarro, magic realism, and the new weird. Many of these stories have been lauded, appearing in Best of the Year compilations and receiving major Fantasy or Science Fiction nominations and awards. Others are collected from rare chapbooks, anthologies, and obscure magazines. And these previously published works are joined by a new story written specifically for this volume.
Stories of suspense, sorrow, and horror by the Bram Stoker Award–winning, New York Times–bestselling author of Ararat. A circus clown willing to give anything to be funny. A spectral gunslinger who must teach a young boy to defend the ones he loves. A lonely widower making a farewell tour of the places that meant the world to his late wife. A faded Hollywood actress out to deprive her ex-husband of his prize possession. These are just some of the characters to be found in Tell My Sorrows to the Stones, a remarkable collection of short fiction by one of today’s literary masters of darkness. “Some of my editor friends tell me that horror fiction is finally starting to make a comeback. If that’s true, writers like Christopher Golden are a big part of the reason.” —George R. R. Martin
Navigating their burned-out, futuristic city home under constant threat from a pair of dragons circling the skies, three young people are forced to flee and confront challenges ranging from fire and conspiracies to taboo drugs and dragon-worshippers.
Welcome to the afterlife: “A daring and original feat of the imagination . . . transporting readers to an alternative reality that reflects our own” (Nancy Richler, author of The Imposter Bride). Is it possible to find love after you’ve died and gone to Hell? For oddball misfits Velvet and Brinkley, the answer just might be yes. After Velvet hangs herself and winds up trapped in a bedroom she believes is Hell, she comes in contact with Brinkley, the man trapped next door. Through mirrors that hang in each of their rooms, these disturbed cinephiles watch the past of the other unfold—the dark past that has led to their present circumstances. As their bond grows and they struggle to figure out the tragic puzzles of their lives and deaths, Velvet and Brinkley are in for more surprises. By turns quirky, harrowing, funny, and surreal, The Delphi Room explores the nature of reality and the possibilities of love. “A clever novel with a unique approach, The Delphi Room both challenges and entertains. . . . The characters are full of life, painted with an emotional depth and affirming the wild complexity that is the human condition.” —Quill & Quire “A surreal, visual journey through the unknown.” —The Book Stylist
“Pushes urban fantasy noir to its logical extreme by casting the resurrected body of Christ—now called Cross—as an angel-slaying, wise-cracking antihero.” —Publishers Weekly For thousands of years, Cross has wandered the earth, a mortal soul trapped in the undying body left behind by Christ. He’s been a thief, a con man, a soldier, and a drunkard. He’s fought as a slave in the Colosseum and as a knight at King Arthur’s side. But now he must play the part of reluctant hero, as an angel comes to him for help finding the Mona Lisa—the real Mona Lisa that inspired the painting. Cross’s quest takes him into a secret world within our own, populated by characters just as strange and wondrous as he is. Haunted by memories of Penelope—the only woman he truly loved—he wants to avenge her death at the hands of his ancient enemy, Judas, a forgotten god from an ancient time. The angel promises to deliver Judas to Cross, but nothing is ever what it seems when Judas is involved, and when a group of renegade angels looking for a new holy war show up, things truly go to hell. “A deliriously unhinged roller coaster of a novel, blending fantasy, history, horror and humour with the aplomb of an overfull blender, but all of it smarter than it, truly, has any right—or need—to be.” —National Post “Sweeps you up with its gallows humour, whether you’re revelling in the pleasures of two-fisted, angel-punching action or the cleverly rendered language.” —Quill & Quire “Takes urban fantasy to a different level with this tale of conspiracy and confession.” —Library Journal

Years later, evil destroys the rest of Cara’s family. In a rage, Cara uses magic to transform herself into a male warrior. But she finds that to defeat her enemies, she must break the cycle of violence, not continue it. As Cara’s mother’s vision of destiny is fulfilled, the wonderful follows the terrible, and a quest for revenge becomes a quest for eternal life.
