The Cursed Earth

SHROOM AND DOOM.

Small towns always guard their secrets, and the quaint Pennsylvania tourist town of Lynchburg is no exception. When members of a Pittsburgh gang retreat to the outskirts of the town in an ill-fated bid to hide from the authorities, they-along with a trio of industrial spies, a would-be celebrity chef, and a happy-go-lucky band of unwary festivalgoers-find themselves set upon by the dark forces behind the town's 50th annual Fungus Festival.

Set deep in the forests and hills of Pennsylvania, THE CURSED EARTH hurls readers headlong into the heart of a cosmic folk horror nightmare in a town ruled by the enigmatic La Signora Grigia-the psychedelic Grey Lady-where gangsters, partygoers, investigators, and sinister cultists clash in the midst of the wild festival atmosphere. Who is the Grey Lady, and can outsiders ever hope to survive for long in Lynchburg?

He brings a strong Rust Belt perspective to his writing, a kind of "Northern Gothic" aesthetic reflective of his background.Writing his first novel at 29, he then devoted time to his craft and worked on short stories, occupying a space between genre and literary fiction, with an emphasis on horror, science fiction, and fantasy. He has seen some of his short stories published in "Albedo 1," Ireland's premier magazine of speculative fiction, and he won second place in their Aeon Award in 2008 for his short story, "Aegis." He has lived in Chicago since 1993, and is a passionate fan of music, a student of pop culture, an avid photographer and bicycler, and enjoys cooking.He has published six novels: SAAMAANTHAA, THE HAPPENING, and NORM--collectively known as The Wolfshadow Trilogy--CHOSEN, SUCKAGE, the cosmic folk horror-comedy thriller, THE CURSED EARTH. He has also published three novellas--RELICT, SUMMERVILLE, and THE DAY OF THE NIGHTFISH. He co-edited all three of the THE FIENDS IN THE FURROWS folk horror anthologies. AWARDS: - 2008 Aeon Award, Second Place for "Aegis"- 2009 Honorable Mention, "Best Horror of the Year," edited by Ellen Datlow for "Aegis" and "Rotgut."- Runner-up, 2013 Best New Novel by a Chicagoan, CHICAGO READER, for SUCKAGE- Shortlisted for the 2012 Aeon Award for THE DAY OF THE NIGHTFISH.
