In honor of ‘Queer Horror’ month at DSM, we’re giving three lucky readers an opportunity to each win a signed copy of Lee Thomas’ new short story collection, In the Closet, Under the Bed. That’s right, we’ve got three autographed copies of this Bram Stoker Award nominated collection to give away to our loyal readers in this exclusive contest you won’t find anywhere else!

From the award-winning author of The Dust of Wonderland and Stained, as well as a writer hailed by Bentley Little as being "a worthy successor to Clive Barker", comes this new collection of literary dark fiction guaranteed to having you checking in the closet and under the bed before retiring for the night! Fifteen stories, nine original to this collection, and six previously published tales,  including “The Apiary of the White Bees” from the multi-award winning anthology Inferno (edited by Ellen Datlow) and “I’m You’re Violence” from the Bram Stoker Award-winning LGBT/horror anthology Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet (edited by Vince A. Liaguno and Chad Helder).

Sarah Langan, award-winning author of Audrey’s Door and The Missing, says:

“From lyrical to poignant to funny to beautifully grotesque and back again, this smart, gleefully original collection showcases Lee Thomas’ Herculean talent. What I love most though, is that Thomas gets the purpose of horror: to cast light on the darkness, so that we readers recognize what is good, what is obscene, and what our society has confused between the two.”

To enter, send an email to DarkScribePress(at)aol(dot) com containing your name and contact information with “Lee Thomas Contest” in the subject line. Three lucky winners will be chosen at random from the entries received. Only one entry per email address will be accepted.
