WAITING FOR OCTOBER: 12 ODDITIES COLLECTED BY Jeff Strand, Adam Pepper, Sarah Pinborough & Jeffrey Thomas. Naperville, IL; Dark Arts Books; 2007. 1st edition trade paperback. Waiting For October, the second title from Dark Arts Books, was released at the World Horror Convention in Toronto at the end of March 2007. The four-author collection features new fiction and select rarities from Adam Pepper, Sarah Pinborough, Jeff Strand and Jeffrey Thomas! From body parts gone missing to body parts inexplicably arriving, from parasitic children to dead grammas, Waiting for October offers a dozen wild stories from four extremely twisted imaginations. "I doubt I'll read a stronger horror-themed collection this year than WAITING FOR OCTOBER, the genre-busting follow-up to Dark Arts Books' 2006 anthology CANDY ON THE DUMPSTER... For me, however, the book's magic is in its incredibly wide-ranging, always unpredictable contents." -Adam Groves, Fright.com. "In Waiting for October, four unique voices probe the breadth and depth of dark fiction with tremendous success. This collection offers the subtle and creepy along with the brutal and grotesque. Stylish. Smart. And scary. It's a stunning collection from four of the genre's brightest talents. -Lee Thomas, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Stained, Damage and The Dust of Wonderland.
