Where Night Cowers

Matthew M. Bartlett is an open channel to the darkness -Michael T. Cisco, author of UnlanguageA hair product's occult properties give the unsuspecting consumer more than just luxurious locks.A rural museum's shocking exhibits explore the dark and deathly aspects of laughter.A house travels the skies by night to find the man who long ago hid from terror in its abandoned halls.An actor on a movie set recites a scripted incantation that summons unholy apocalypse.An unseemly birthday party novelty turns out to be a diabolical tool of revenge.A town's dark devotion to a dead child spells danger for unwary day trippers. A senior citizen van takes an unexpected detour to hell.Join Matthew M. Bartlett, author of Gateways to Abomination, as he takes you on a tour through witch-ridden Leeds, Massachusetts, through hex-haunted Hulse, Massachusetts, and beyond, to the darker precincts of existence, where the chance rotation of a radio dial leads to cosmic madness, where devils reign, where doom creeps, where fiends flourish...where night cowers. Reading Bartlett is like watching the offspring of François Rabelais & Al Columbia frolic like demented wildlife, where people wear the faces of a Hannah Höch portrait while giggling macabre wisdom over obscene broadcasts from radio stations located deep within dark forests. -Christopher Slatsky, author of The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature
