The Books of Shadow: Volume II

Tony Richards · 01-30-2013, 01:41 PM

Three friends go on a fishing trip that turns out badly wrong, whereas another three attend a bullfight held at midnight. A travelling circus and a lone performer both provide terrifying forms of ‘entertainment.’ A newly homeless man finds out the dark truth lurking at the heart of our great cities. And a Catholic priest discovers even darker horrors at a mission deep in Africa. Here are a dozen stories that will quicken your heart and freeze the very marrow in your bones. Don’t read them at too late an hour … for who knows what nightmares might come?

Now only 99c.

"A hell of a writer, one of today's masters of dark fiction" -- Horror World.

Thanks Tony.

My pleasure, Crich. Hope you like it enough to go on to the other 2.

Some of my best stories over the past three decades. All of them have previously appeared in magazines or anthos.

Tony Richards · 02-16-2013, 01:40 PM

Here they are again.

Tony Richards · 03-09-2013, 12:45 PM

And again.

Tony Richards · 03-20-2013, 01:11 PM

And again.

Tony Richards · 04-18-2013, 11:36 AM

This one's long overdue a bump.

Tony Richards · 05-14-2013, 12:39 PM

And another one.

Tony Richards · 06-02-2013, 06:55 PM

Some of my best known -- and best reviewed -- stories are in Volume II.

Here's another chance to give all 3 books a look ... 99 cents each.

Just back from vacation ... tanned, fit, and ready for more words.

Meanwhile, there's this and plenty more -- see below.

My long-running website, richardsreality.com, has just been completely updated. There’s a better Photo Gallery, a massively expanded Art Gallery with over a dozen new paintings and drawings by M. Wayne Miller and Steve Upham, a new interview conducted by award-winning author Ed Gorman, a complete list of my available ebooks, both from major publishers and self-published, and news of my latest novels and collections.
Huge thanks to Marie O’Regan for putting it all together.
