Мэттью Р. Дэвис — новинки

Art and ambition meet sublime moments of dread in Matthew R. Davis’ Bites Eyes, a collection of sinister and terrifying vignettes from the award-winning author and rising star of Australian horror.

Within, you’ll find ghosts celebrating heartbreaking holidays, deadly music that spells death for any who hear it, unsettling children who take extraordinary steps, lethal butchers lurking in plain sight, ancient evils, and much more.

Collected together for the first time, these thirteen macabre morsels offer a taste of the terrifying, the sinister, the dangerous, and the disturbed.

Every bite’s a pleasure, yet comes with a delectable thrill of fear.

In 1971, the wicked cult of science-sorceress Thelma O’Therion vanished from Oddfellows Observatory – and rumour is that the place has been growing ever since. Now, in the name of love, stoner-metal singer Terrance will discover the madness that lies within its walls – a terror transcending time, space, and sanity itself...

Writing about ‘Supermassive Black Mass’, author Matthew R. Davis said: “The core idea had been kicking around in my head for a few years: what if a crew of astronauts returned after many years away to find the entire planet overgrown by a single haunted house? I couldn’t see my way in, so I reduced the SF element and decided on more contemporary characters. I didn’t know who they would be until I happened across a copy of Electric Wizard’s ‘Witchcult Today’ album, after which it seemed perfectly natural to make my lead a stoner metal frontman with a taste for ‘70s horror! I’ve extensive experience with all of those things, so writing [the character of] Terrance Cranston was no stretch at all – except that he’s had a fair amount of success, whilst I continue to toil in well-deserved obscurity.”
