Cover Reveal for The Seven Deadliest

To Be Released on May 7, 2019 From Cutting Block Books

Edited by Patrick Beltran and D. Alexander Ward

I’ve known most of the authors in this anthology for five years or longer and have come to develop a deep appreciation and love of all of their work. There isn’t a single one of them I haven’t read and written about over all that time, many of them on multiple occasions and I’ve never had a bad word to say about one of them. That’s because they’re all fucking great authors, immediately recognizable indie giants that most of you will have read and–I’m confident–loved. So, my familiarity with them, coupled with my adoration of their various published works, was enough to send my heart leaping over the moon when I learned of this new anthology coming May 7 from Cutting Block Books. Edited by Patrick Beltran and D. Alexander Ward, the seven tales in this volume were penned by some of the best horror authors in the business. Hell, even the damn foreword was penned by a rock-star author in the genre. Ink Heist will be sharing a little something about each of these authors and stories over the next several weeks, so stay tuned for that awesomeness. Preorder links will be available soon, but in the meantime, tease yourself with this amazing cover art by Bailey Hunter and Francois Vaillancourt, read that jaw-dropping table of contents, and prepare yourselves for your next favorite thing.
