APRIL 26th GIVEAWAY!!!
We’re back, once again, with another giveaway from GREY
MATTER PRESS. Really an infant in the publishing world, this Chicago
independent has quickly learned to walk and is now sprinting towards their
first possible Bram Stoker Award win with their DARK VISIONS ONE, awarded
earlier this month.
For today’s giveaway we have the follow up to that first
volume in the DARK VISIONS series. DARK VISIONS:
A COLLECTION OF MODERN HORROR – VOLUME TWO is the yin to the yang of its
predecessor. Where DARK VISIONS ONE
might be considered loud, DARK VISIONS TWO is the opposite. Having been called
‘deeper,’ ‘more thought-provoking,’ and ‘quieter’ than the first volume, GREY
MATTER PRESS likes to call it more insidious and brooding.
Today we’re giving away two ECOPIES of this collection of
exceptional tales of dark fiction that continues where the first volume left
off. From sadistic supernatural thrillers, to deeply moving accounts of
terrifying personal horrors, to the exploration of the truly monstrous that
plague the world, DARK VISIONS TWO will take you on a psychological journey
that you will not soon forget.
