Blood from the Air

<p class=ql-align-justify>Angels and insects holes in the known world's fabric and what comes out of them the love of death and the death of love. In award-winning horror author Gemma Files's seventh collection of short fiction the numinous and the awful tango together through a collapsing series of not-so-alternate realities and everyone they touch emerges changed whether or not they may have wanted to be. This is fantasy of the darkest sort horror-cured marinating in its own transformative juices. So enter a fractured universe of creepy delights one where the oldest tropes are turned inside out and wrung for their oddest components as forgotten gods and monsters cavort beneath a storm of BLOOD FROM THE AIR.</p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Formerly a film critic journalist screenwriter and teacher Gemma Files has been an award-winning horror author since 1999.
