Emerging as the dark side of Romanticism, horror is one of literature’s oldest genres. Its history is so diverse it’s sometimes difficult to define. Are moody stories about ghosts and vampires related to gory tales of beasts and zombies? And what about the more realistic terrors of murderous rogues and diabolical doctors? The emotion of fear unifies the 14 stories in First Came Fear: New Tales of Horror. But fear is legion in its varieties. The authors skillfully navigate terror of all types. M.P. Diederich’s “Dressage for Beginners” and Christopher Calix’s “The Wedding Gift” are fine examples of the ghoulish humor tradition while J.P. Whitmer’s “Loved to Death” will fr...

It's Saturday, and Nashville lowlife Jake Croom needs money for the beer joints. (Hey! It isn't like he just wants the money!) But his seemingly straightforward plan to steal some sends him ricocheting through the lives of everyone from bat-wielding grandmothers to down-and-out typesetters to inadvertent Robert E. Lee impersonators, violently knocking them all into various unexpected pockets in life's pool table. Meanwhile Jake, fortified by tequila, unidentified pharmaceuticals and a thirty-five-dollar pistol, caroms toward his own final collision with a counterfeit Valkyrie and a bona fide hail of bullets.

David Burkitt is a man of Faith. Not throw-away-your-pills Faith or annoy-people-on-streetcorners Faith. His is a quiet Faith. The kind of faith that lets a person pronounce "Job" the way it is pronounced in the Bible without ever wondering why, if God wanted it pronounced that way, he didn't put an "e" on the end. But David's calm, stable world is shattered when his angelic, loving wife, Glenda, vanishes. She's left him, suddenly and for no apparent reason! Then things get weird as more and more people seem to know more about David's wife than David does, including--shockingly--the crude, bigoted, possibly psychopathic redneck, Rolly Blaney. Soon David, Blaney and a cast of crackpots are ricocheting through the Tennessee night in hot pursuit of Glenda, with David doing some very un-Davidlike things along the way. By the time it's over, David will have broken a couple of commandments, experienced his first hangover, and will find himself at the Rally to Keep Tennessee Safe for Christianity covered with blood and waving a pistol. And nobody is more surprised by it all than David Burkitt.
