AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Damnation Games is a smart and scary anthology of crime and mystery stories all with a supernatural or horror bent. From heists interrupted by ghosts and gangster organisations infiltrated by monsters to cops investigating inexplicable crimes and PIs dragged into occult madness - these mysteries will chill you to the bone.

'The anthology, from Clan Destine Press, showcases the breadth and depth of modern dark fiction writing in a collection of stories from some of the biggest names in the horror world, including international bestsellers and award winners.

'Within these pages you'll find tales of theft and murder, of crooked cops and honest cons, of the lengths some people will go, and through them all lurks a shadow of the weird, the cosmic, the supernatural, the unexplainable. Do you dare engage in these Damnation Games?

'Damnation Games features 18 all-new stories by a crew of acclaimed dark fiction writers including Kaaron Warren, Aaron Dries, Joanne Anderton, Dan Rabarts, Maria Lewis, Robert Hood, Alan Baxter, Gemma Files, Gemma Amor, Kyle Lee Ward, Philip Fracassi and more. Many of the contributors are finalists or winners of various awards including the Aurealis, the Ditmar, the Australian Shadows, and the Bram Stoker.' (Publication summary)
