In and Down
In In and Down, Michael and Stephen are young brothers growing up with no female influence in their lives. Through their father's emotional absence and abuse, they come to believe women do not truly exist. One of the boys draws into himself, looking for answers to the confusion in his life, and throughout this descent, he experiences his past as though through a distorted carnival mirror. When he emerges from his inner journey, he is forced to confront a secret that has been buried deep inside for over thirty years.
No Further Messages
This is not, and never has been, about you. Any of you. This is not, and never has been, about good and bad. This makes no sense to you, I know. I have taken all who are worthy. There will be no further messages. Twenty-one short stories by Brett Alexander Savory, featuring three tales original to this collection. Praise for No Further Messages "Savory deserves to make a great impression on both our highly mutable genre and the reading public." —Peter Straub "A stylish and intelligent writer. File under Original and Startling." —Ramsey Campbell "If you gave me 10 words to describe Brett Savory's writing style, I'd only need 5: Like A House On Fire." —Craig Davidson
A Perfect Machine
Henry Kyllo is a member of a secret society called the Inferne Cutis. A Runner whose goal is to achieve full-body lead content. He is chased through the city every day by Hunters whose goal is to shoot the Runners--with the threat to both sides that if they do not participate, through a mysterious force no one understands, one of their loved ones will simply vanish from the face of the earth. Rumours abound about what happens when a Runner achieves "ascension," but it has supposedly never happened before, so no one knows for sure. Except that it has happened before. And it is happening again. This time, to Henry Kyllo.
Denying Death
"I'm harping on the family and loved ones and living rooms and personal space and the home here because a good many of the stories by Brett, Seth and Gary in this book touch on those themes. 'Touch on' might be too weak a term, come to think of it. 'Reach into' is better. 'Probe the way a surgeon does for a lump' is better still. A lot of these stories hurt. They hurt real bad. This is not a bad thing. Hurt can affirm life, and remind us we're not alone."--Michael Marano, from his introduction
The Last Pentacle of the Sun
This anthology of dark fiction is published in support of Echols, Misskelley, and Baldwin, the West Memphis 3. All proceeds will go toward legal efforts to clear the names of the three men convicted of murdering three eight-year-old boys in Arkansas in 1993.
The Compleate Pigge
With Brett Alexander Savory, Johnson Milhone is crazy ... or is he? Talking, sentient stuffed pigs that may, or may not be sewn from the flesh of his father? A psychopathic brother, or, just a bully? A mother who may be a controlling serial killer? Think Donny Darko with a slice of bacon and you're close.
The Distance Travelled
"Two questions for Brett Savory: 'What're you smoking?' And 'May we please all have some?' The Distance Travelled is an ergot-spawned argot of a novelette that nabs its readers for a ride Charlie Starkweather'd be too chicken to take. Not since Lord of the Flies has fiction been so rough on a Piggy. Now, where'd I put those damned glasses?"- Michael Marano, author of Dawn Song

People Live Still in Cashtown Corners
"It is what it is. That's her car out there and, well, that's her right there."Jeremy looks at the woman again. There's a few flies dipping in and out of the back of her skull."What happened to her?"I feel a little uncomfortable. I wasn't really planning to lay it all out like this."Well, I hate to say this but I killed her."Jeremy nods slowly. He's starting to take this in and I'm relieved."Don't ask me why. Anything I say is just gonna sound ridiculous."I rub my hand in my hair. I want to appear frustrated."Things just got out of control."
