All Things "Dark Faith"
Posted June 20, 2010 in Dark Faith
The release of Dark Faith has turned this summer into a blur of interviews and reviews. To make information on the book easier to find, I put together this page of sample stories, interviews, reviews, and podcasts.
If you’re interested in the book and still sitting the fence, you’ll find no better place to convince you to order… or at least badger your local library to order a copy for you (most have a special fund for patron suggestions). If you order Dark Faith directly from Apex Publishing, you’ll receive Last Rites, a limited-edition chapbook, for free. Dark Faith is also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders. Or if you prefer electronic form, you can get it for the Kindle and iPad.
Book Trailer:
Dark Faith:
Faith. So much of our reality is determined by what we believe, and it can so easily be… undone. Editors Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon have created an anthology that explores, questions, and shatters the boundaries of faith.
Pick up a gun and write a new psalm with Brian Keene. Confront the inhumanity of modern society with Gary Braunbeck. Find magic behind the suburbs of Portland with Jay Lake. Walk the line between art and desire with Tom Piccirilli. Through twenty-six stories you will be transported from the rooftops of the twin towers to steps of the Vatican.
Review Blurbs:
“It may be the best anthology I’ve ever read…reads like a “Year’s Best” rather than a nominee for it.”
~Horror Web
“Terrible beauty and mind-shattering horror. It’s all here, in what’s sure to be one of the year’s best anthologies.”
~ Shroud Magazine
“No matter what your ideas about heaven or hell or religion (or lack therof) are, this book is designed to challenge you, to make you think, and most importantly, to entertain you.”
~ Sevier County News
