| I'll Be Damned :: Delirium Books :: Collection by Shane Ryan Staley |
|
Shane Ryan Staley's follow-up to his controversial, yet
critically-acclaimed chapbook, Chocolate Jesus, is sure to be
one of the most hated and loved collections to come out 2001.
I'll Be Damned features 30 of Staley's most extreme, politically
incorrect stories, most of which are sure to offend and shock, yet
entertain readers with his high dosage of black humor. This book
is a must-have for fans of underground horror. It is limited to
only 250 signed paperback copies and includes both an introduction
by Brian Keene and artwork by R.S. Connett.
"You've heard the expression 'through the glass darkly'? Forget that. The looking glass that Staley uses to view our world isn't just dark--it's fucking obsidian. What you call religion, he terms mind control. Where you see a prom queen, he sees a crack whore. Staley is a writer that focuses on the positive. He's positive that everything sucks.
"There is much more to these stories than just a quick gross-out,
my friends. There is the skewering of some sacred cows that
desperately needed skewering. There is food for the funny bone and
the blackened soul. There is a hidden wave of depth and emotion that
will surprise you, sicken you, delight you, and possibly even make
you think." | ||||||||||
