The Collection (eBook)

The Collection
by Bentley Little

About the eBook:
How far would you go with a hitchhiker who'd left behind an unimaginable trail of horror and destruction?

How would you feel if your father's new bride was something dredged up from the bowels of hell?

What would you do if you discovered an old letter suggesting one of America's Founding Fathers had been a serial killer?

This is The Collection, thirty-two stories of hot blood and frigid terror that could have come only from the mind of Bentley Little!

Bentley Little was born in Arizona a month after his mother attended the world premiere of Psycho. He received his BA in Communications and MA in English and Comparative Literature at California State University Fullerton. His Master's thesis was the novel The Revelation, which was later published and won the Bram Stoker Award in 1991. Since then, he has written many more novels and his work has been translated into seven different languages. Several of his novels have been optioned for film.

His work has appeared in many issues of Cemetery Dance magazine, including Cemetery Dance #64, which was the Bentley Little Special Issue and featured an original interview with him and two of his brand new short stories.

When asked in that issue why he writes horror, he answered: "I write horror because I have to. That's the way my mind works. Those are the ideas that come to me. I've never felt limited by the genre. How could I? Horror fiction offers an author the broadest possible canvas on which to work. I have all of the real-world subjects at my disposal that a mainstream writer does—plus the infinite realm of the supernatural. Creatively, there's nothing else that comes close to this sort of scope, which is why there is nothing I would rather be than a horror writer."
