Product Description:
A terrifying collection of short horror stories by dark fiction author Lily Childs. These forty-three offerings comprise eleven long tales, including the previously unpublished:
- SMILING CYRUS - dancing dolls of death in your attic
- IN ADORATION - demonic rebirth, revenge and new skin
- STARING AT THE PINK - when the dead don't let go
Studded and stitched together by shorter pieces and tiny 100-word drabbles this first volume of Cabaret of Dread ends with:
- THE INFANTA TRIPTYCH - living, dying art - breathing, pulsing... ancient.
"Extreme vampire horror."
Words spill from the babbling mouths of demons and murderers throughout Cabaret of Dread, combining fear and even humour as the reader encounters serial killers and ghosts, historical entities and psychopaths, not to mention a scuttling vampire or two.
Cabaret of Dread is extreme horror FOR ADULTS ONLY. Ethereal and spiritual elements battle with the visceral and the insane; lustful adoration dallies with laboured, lingering death. The Cabaret will shock, it may well offend. But it is beautiful – at least in the author’s mind - and that’s where the darkness lies.

"Lily Childs is a unique voice in horror fiction, both terrible and unsettling in its power, as darkly poetic as Poe, as gut-wrenching as Clive Barker. I'm a fan." Matt Hilton, author of the Joe Hunter thrillers.

Thank you posting about Cabaret of Dread Matt, and for your kind quote. Much appreciated.
I hope you enjoy the stories. Is it self-indulgent of me to still enjoy them myself? :-)
All the best.
Lily
