A terrifying collection of short horror stories FOR ADULTS ONLY by dark fiction author Lily Childs. Studded and stitched together by shorter pieces and tiny 100-word drabbles, these forty-three offerings comprise eleven full-length tales in total, including extreme vampire horror: - THE INFANTA TRIPTYCH - living, dying art - breathing, pulsing... ancient.And the previously unpublished:- SMILING CYRUS - dancing dolls of death in your attic- IN ADORATION - demonic rebirth, revenge and new skin- STARING AT THE PINK - when the dead don't let goWords spill from the babbling mouths of demons and murderers throughout Cabaret of Dread, combining fear and even humour as the reader encounters serial killers and ghosts, historical entities and psychopaths, not to mention a scuttling vampire or two. Ethereal and spiritual elements battle with the visceral and the insane; lustful adoration dallies with laboured, lingering death. The Cabaret will shock, it may well offend. But it is beautiful - at least in the author's mind - and that's where the darkness lies._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Praise for Cabaret of Dread:"Having read almost every story written by Lily Childs, I can confidently say that Britain has a new Queen of Dark Fiction. The prose crawl off the pages, down your spine, then drag you into the darkness." - Col Bury, Crime Editor at Thrillers Killers 'n' Chillers ezine
