Little Deaths

Named the #1 Horror Collection of 2012 by Horror Talk
Named top 5 books of 2012 by AndyErupts
AN AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING HORROR TITLE.

â‚¬Å“Little Deaths is a treat for fans of horror. Taffâ‚¬s prose is tight but malleable, changing its nature to adapt to every story. The diversity of the collection is outstanding, the writing is the kind that gets nods for the Stoker, and all the elements of horror fiction are there in spades. The Mellified Man was one of the best short stories I read this year and this collection ensured that I will be getting my hands on anything Taff publishes the second it comes out. When it comes to superb short horror stories, this tome stuck with me and Iâ‚¬ll surely go back to it at some point in 2013.â‚¬Â
~ Horror Talk, on naming Little Deaths the #1 Horror Collection of 2012

"Before 2012, Iâ‚¬d never heard of American author John F.D.Taff until I read his short story Cold Calls in Best New Vampire Tales Vol I. After that, I had no hesitation in picking up Taffâ‚¬s collection of his own short stories, Little Deaths. The tales contained therein, much like the author himself, are quite unique and donâ‚¬t rely on horror archetypes in the traditional sense, no mean feat in and of itself. Taffâ‚¬s range of storytelling is ably demonstrated in Little Deaths with some of the highlights for me being: Here, a touching story, despite being a horror yarn; The Mellified Man, a modern day fairytale with more than a hint of The Twilight Zone about it; and Box of Rocks, a short sharp shock of a read that had tremendous impact on me."

About the book:

You think youâ‚¬ve got bad dreams? Consider author John F.D. Taffâ‚¬s nightmares. How about the one where a guy resurrects his dead girlfriend with a set of the prop neck bolts used on Boris Karloff in the 1932 classic Frankenstein? Or one where the ghost of the authorâ‚¬s dead dog keeps coming back to entice him into death so they can be together? Or the one where a guy loves candyâ‚¬Â¦to death?

Taff has the kind of nightmares no one really wants. But itâ‚¬s nightmares like these that give him plenty of ideas to explore; ideas that heâ‚¬s turned into the short stories he shares in this new collection Little Deaths.

Little Deaths features 19 pieces of short horror fiction; some have appeared previously in print elsewhere, others appear for the first time here. All of them are chilling, weird looks at the human condition from a decidedly dark perspective.
