Jonathan Maberry

We are all prey to this anthology of modern fables and dark tales. Bestiary of Blood was conceived in a moment of revelation, born from the visceral experience of watching nature's savage ballet-lions tearing into flesh, hyenas gnawing bones, sharks thrashing in crimson waters. These raw spectacles gave rise to a chilling epiphany: life and death are entwined in a grotesque dance, each feeding the other in a ceaseless cycle of transformation, creating...beauty. This paradox is captured in its full glory in Bestiary of Blood, a modern anthology of predation's horrors inspired by the timeless tales of Aesop's Fables, modernized for a more complex, unforgiving world. Exploring the joy in our hurts, the wrongs in our rights, and the suffering in the shadows of our light, Bestiary of Blood invites you to the intersection of human and animal experience, crafting dark tales that resonate with life's endless cycles of transformation. Written by 37 of Horror's greatest writers, Including 18 Bram Stoker Award Winners, this anthology features diverse voices from every walk of life as they usher you through the darkest and most profound questions of the modern age.

Edgar Allan Poe's only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown. Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson's Treasure Island, Poe's Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men's souls. This new edition, with a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe's novel, which inspired H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.
