Publisher's Synopsis
This edition includes all eight interior illustrations by artist Glenn Chadbourne.
One of 2012's HWA Lifetime Achievement Award Winners, Rick Hautala has a writing career that spans more than three decades. From Moondeath, his first novel published in 1980, to the republication of his best-selling novel The White Room (DRP, 2012) and his forthcoming "Little Brothers" novella Indian Summer (CD Publications, 2012), his novels and short stories have entertained millions of readers around the world.
Now comes Glimpses, a career-spanning "best of" collection that brings together twenty-four stories, including eight from each of Rick's critically-acclaimed collections Bedbugs and Occasional Demons, and eight previously uncollected stories.
And Glimpses delivers what it promises-quick glimpses into the deepest shadows of our lives, around unfamiliar corners of streets we think we know, and down the darkest alleys of strange cities where readers will have to face their worst fears and their most unnerving nightmares.
Of course, Glimpses wouldn't be a Rick Hautala collection if it didn't included gorgeous original artwork-a wraparound cover and eight new illustrations-from award-winning artist Glenn Chadbourne.
So whether it's in a haunted schoolhouse or an abandoned lighthouse, an iron bridge that spans a fast-moving river or a World War I battlefield, prepare yourself because you never know what you may catch a glimpse of ... and by then, it may already be too late.
"Rick Hautala's writing shines with dedication, hard-earned craft, and devotion." -Peter Straub
"Rick Hautala is a modern master of horror. He breathtakingly captures the things we fear, and love. With love, humanity, and a chilling eye, Hautala makes our hearts race." -Matthew J. Costello, author of Vacation and Home
"Rick Hautala proves each time out that he understands and respects the inner workings of the traditional horror novel as well or better than anyone writing. He brings his own brand of ice and fire and blood to his work and he never forgets to entertain the reader." -Joe R. Lansdale, author of the Hap and Leonard books and Edge of Dark Water
