𝗣𝗔𝗨𝗟𝗔 𝗗. 𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡! Please join me in welcoming Paula D. Ashe to Godless with her (as of Thursday) Bram Stoker Award-Nominated collection… WE ARE HERE TO HURT EACH OTHER. Now. There is a massive amount of chatter around this book. So, rather than compare it to anything or anyone else, I will just let the blurbs do the talking. “Gooey, gory and utterly mesmerizing…” Gemma Files “Truly masterful.” Eric LaRocca “Poignant, grim, and startling.” Tiffany Morris “Paula D. Ashe is a Prophet of Pain." Christopher Ropes “Holy fuck." Joe Koch “The stories in this collection convey a chilling urgency…” S. P. Miskowski I think we all know what we’re doing this weekend. Get ready for the pain because the hurt begins NOW! We are DELIGHTED to have you in the family, Paula. Thank you for this gift.

Ashe takes you into a dark and bloody world where nothing is sacred and no one is safe. A landscape of urban decay and human degradation, this collection finds the psychic pressure points of us all, and giddily squeezes. Try to run, try to hide, but there is no escape: we are here to hurt each other.  "My god, this book. Where do I even begin? The exquisite language. The devastation. The slow, creeping dread. Truly masterful. I’m a new and devoted fan of Paula D. Ashe."

“Not that Amber was psychic. How could she be? There was nothing special about her, and there was no such thing as a ‘vision.’ It seemed as though she triggered bad events, just by being there. Like the time she warned a bus driver to quit his route early to avoid a catastrophe; two hours later the guy slammed his bus into a utility pole and injured six passengers. Some people would call it a premonition, but not me.
Maybe she gave people ideas they didn’t have before. Maybe she just freaked people out or set them on edge, and this had a sort of ripple effect. She was tuned into something nasty, something I didn’t like and didn’t want living under my roof or sleeping in my bed.”

Today we reveal the cover to our newest anthology (out October 24), Tales from a Talking Board, in conjunction with this profile on Word Horde and publisher/editor Ross E. Lockhart in the Petaluma Argus-Courier. Check ’em out and order your copy today! 
Can we speak with the spirits of the dead? Is it possible to know the future? Are our dreams harbingers of things to come? Do auspicious omens and cautionary portents effect our lives?
Edited by Ross E. Lockhart, Tales from a Talking Board examines these questions–and more–with tales of auguries, divination, and fortune telling, through devices like Ouija boards, tarot cards, and stranger things.
So dim the lights, place your hands upon the planchette, and ask the spirits to guide you as we present fourteen stories of the strange and supernatural by Matthew M. Bartlett, Nadia Bulkin, Nathan Carson, Kristi DeMeester, Orrin Grey, Scott R. Jones, David James Keaton, Anya Martin, J. M. McDermott, S. P. Miskowski, Amber-Rose Reed, Tiffany Scandal, David Templeton, and Wendy N. Wagner.

Again, in conjunction with greydogtales, our friends from across the big water, we present ten questions with one of our favorite writers — in this case the redoubtable S P Miskowski, who I first encountered in the fabulous Muscadines, a story of three women who have interesting hobbies. It might also be called the Wrath of Grapes but that would be a good deal less poetic and effective.

“‘Yes,’ Cecily jumped in. Ever the social one, the slender and gracious proof that Amber wasn’t a genetic aberration but a self-made monster, an experimental version of Cecily gone wrong.”

“Amber’s face lost its final trace of color. She sat there in her chair at the dining table like an adult who’s suddenly deflated to child-size, arranging the folds of her dress around her. When she was done, she looked as pasty as before but also on the verge of collapse. I had a fleeting image of her being sucked down inside the dress that pooled around her, swallowed up and digested by her garment.”

“Taking in the spectacle of Amber and the figure wearing the werewolf mask made me nauseated—the overweight woman in her sloppy dress and runny makeup and the pitiful creature out there whose only desire was to reach her, the horrible object of its pathetic affection.”

“I put a hand on Cecily’s shoulder and nudged her to one side. The instinct welling inside me was natural enough, but I wasn’t protecting my wife. I had a quick, deep, overwhelming desire to see this thing stumbling into the light.”

“Every conversation about my wife’s family leads eventually to Amber’s misfortunes. ‘All she’s been through’ is a way of alluding to the stupid things she’s done, like flunking out of two colleges, accidentally setting a dorm room on fire, crashing her car and blaming it on a ‘vision’ of dead people at a bus stop in the rain, or getting fired from her job as a receptionist after telling a client the advertising firm might be a portal to another dimension.”
