The Onyx Book of Occult Fiction

The Onyx Book of Occult Fiction, which I had the honor to edit, is now available to purchase in two editions, paperback and hardcover, from the Snuggly Books website. 

"The young man I was was the only one not writing. He merely watched, detachedly, while the others all came suddenly alive with spontaneous, convulsive scribbling. Spirit-written pages—covered predominantly with numbers, though some bore pictures, symbols, or sentences of doubtful legibility—began to spill from the table, were strewn about the floor, proliferating unstoppably from the single tiny pile with which we started, like bread in Bethsaida. There were only the sounds of writing, and breathing, and the rain outside. The frenzy continued, as if our company were a desperate printing house run by hydrophobics, and when blank paper was suddenly not to be found, they turned to the walls, to the ceiling, to even each other." 
—From "Under Different Stars" by Avalon Brantley
