Overview: A lonely, nerdy paperboy encounters ancient evil on the shadowy back roads of his home town. A little girl spends her nights dreaming of monsters and teaching herself the art of murder. Sherlock Holmes journeys to America for an encounter with the ghost of a murdered woman. A samurai sails to a forgotten island to battle the living dead. Special ops soldiers fly the void to fight space pirates. A heartbroken junkie seeks vengeance for his murdered friend.
Whistling Past the Graveyard is the first print collection of short fiction by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry. These creepy tales of horror, suspense, adventure and mystery take readers to the troubled little town of Pine Deep, to the Feudal Japan of the Samurai, to the angry red planet of John Carter of Mars, and elsewhere. These are strange journeys through nightmare land, with a five-time Bram Stoker Award winner as your guide.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Some of the stories collected here have appeared elsewhere in anthologies devoted to tales about the undead, the Appalachian mountains, Halloween and modern horror so it is a very varied bunch and it’s not all straight horror, nor dark fantasy as here we have sixteen very different tales, some of them involving G. I. Joe, the world of John Carter of Mars (without John Carter himself), and even Sherlock Holmes travelling to America for a ghostly encounter, and the very first story (and also a pretty shocking one) features Maberry’s own personal bogeyman, Doctor Nine, and his equally creepy cohorts travelling the dark highways of America to keep a rendezvous with a little girl who dreams of murdering her little sister and might just do it.
Fans of Maberry’s epic “Pine Deep” trilogy won’t be disappointed as there are stories in this collection that link to those three books, and Maberry fans will lap this collection, and probably the follow-up collection of short stories from JournalStone which is called “Red Dreams and Other Stories”. If you have never read any of Maberry’s work, then this is a good place to start. He’s a pro, and it shows.
