UGLY STORIES
Enter the fevered imagination of Tobin Elliott. Ten awful stories await you. Tales of love, tales of hate, tales of wonder, tales of horror.
Ugly stories. About terrible people. Doing horrible things.
TERRIBLE PEOPLE
In this first collection, you'll find some terribly awful people?some friends, some family, some enemies, and some lovers.
Some are just starting out, whether testing their newfound powers, or their newfound hungers, and claiming their first victims. Others you'll find at the end of their long, fruitful career of evil, looking back on their past deeds.
HORRIBLE THINGS
You will, however, find more than just bad beginnings and awful endings. No, you'll find angels and demons, waiting to be awoken, there's beasts that hunt men, and hunters who may find they've stalked the wrong prey. There's even one who manipulates time to bring peace, perhaps to only awaken violence instead.
Welcome to ten of Tobin Elliott's nightmares. We think you're gonna like them.
Just don't scream too loud...you'll wake the things best left dreaming.
Autorentext
Tobin was destined for horror. This became obvious when, in the span of two weeks, he built a working model of a guillotine out of popsicle sticks and a razor blade ? which his Grade Five teacher didn't seem to appreciate as much as he did ? and he also learned to tie a noose and proudly hung one from their apartment balcony ? which his mother and the superintendent didn't seem to appreciate as much as he did.
Eventually, he learned to focus the horror into stories. His friends and neighbours likely appreciate the lesser PDH (Public Displays of Horror).
Besides writing ugly stories about bad people doing horrible things, Tobin also counts embarrassing his wife and kids, pointing out the stupidities of others, being dumb to kind animals, and killing plants among his hobbies.
Finally, Tobin loves feedback, either positive or negative, on his writing. You can find him occasionally reviewing indie books on Goodreads, or being sarcastic on Twitter (@thehorrorguy91) and Instagram (@tobinelliott.horrorguy).
