Description
“Taylor Grant’s stories burrow into your mind like a dark seed, innocuous at first, growing until they overtake you. These stories are all winners, each bringing Grant’s classic blend of twist-filled California macabre with a heaping dose of EC comics. This volume is a terrific testament to a life’s work … one that should find a place on the shelf amongst his heroes and peers.”—John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart
“I’ve always admired Taylor Grant’s extraordinary gifts for lifting up life’s most mundane rocks – bureaucracy, crushing jobs, middle-class striving, fragile egos – and shining a light on the things slithering through the darkness beneath. His fiction can be wryly amusing or even reassuring, but it’s always disturbing, and The Shuddering Breath Before Oblivion should be a welcome addition to any collection of great horror.”—Lisa Morton, six-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award
