Poppy Z. Brite 
Are You Loathsome Tonight? [EPUB ebook] 
Stories

Tales of “fearlessly offbeat” horror from the author of Lost Souls and Exquisite Corpse (Locus).   Poppy Z. Brite, an acclaimed horror fan favorite, is known for going to the edge and back—and this collection of stories, many set against the backdrop of the author’s native New Orleans, explores the outermost regions of murder, sex, death, and religion.   Featuring titles such as “In Vermis Veritas, ” “Entertaining Mr. Orton, ” and “Mussolini and the Axeman’s Jazz, ” as well as collaborations with Christa Faust and David Ferguson, this volume also offers notes on each story by the author, an introduction by #1 New York Times–bestselling author Peter Straub, and an afterword by Caitlín R. Kiernan. Are You Loathsome Tonight? is an edgy, gruesome tour of “the darkness at the heart of things [with] a number of superb stories, powerful in style and characters” (Locus).
