A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS

A Graveside Gallery: Tales of Ghosts and Dark Matters includes nineteen strange and masterful short fiction stories in this second collection by award-winning author Eric J. Guignard. From hauntings and oblivion to monsters, murder, and anthropomorphism, A Graveside Gallery explores the literary odd and macabre that reside in the vast shadows of our existence.

Discover why Eric J. Guignard’s beautifully-voiced and disquieting work has been praised by sites such as Library Journal (“Guignard captures the depth of emotion underlying fictional terrors”) and Publishers Weekly (“high-concept and brilliant”) as well as the NY Times, CNBC News, Booklist, and more, for stories such as these:

•   In “A Kingdom of Sugar Skulls and Marigolds,” a gay Hispanic teen in 1950s Los Angeles, mourning the loss of a friend, has a chance to make amends during Day of the Dead.

•   In “Incident at the Red Hawk Road Stop,” the owner of a roadside trading post has a deadly secret, but so too does the customer he kills.

•   In “Penny’s Diner,” a long haul trucker, coming home after an accident, stops at a curious diner.

•   In “The Ascending Lights of Yu Lan,” an embittered sailor in 1917’s San Francisco Wharf encounters an immigrant from China who offers peace from ghosts.

•   In “Bummin’ to the Beat of the Road,” a Beat-era youth leaves home to travel the land, only to find madness, murder, and the teeth of a new generation.

•   In “Perchance to Dream in Voices of a Fiend: A Fanciful Epilogue to Frankenstein,” an intimate epilogue is suggested to the famous novel Frankenstein, offering a more hopeful closure to characters’ lives.

Those and thirteen other tales explore the fearful and nebulous boundaries of reality. Visit A Graveside Gallery by Eric J. Guignard and behold that which is captivating, startling, and darkly enriching.
