Publisher: Shocklines Press Format: Trade Paperback This trade paperback is autographed by the author Shane Staley. Description: For Mature Audiences Only! Introduction by Brian Keene. Cover art by Sean Madden. Over the past 5 years, Shane Ryan Staley (author of CHOCOLATE JESUS AND OTHER WEIRD PERVERSIONS, I'LL BE DAMNED and LUSTER) has made a name for himself as one of the most daring and outrageous hardcore horror authors in print. PSYCHOTICA is his latest release, containing 11 hilariously outlandish, in-your-face short stories, 7 of them written specifically for this collection. Experience 26,000 words of fiction that will make you shake your head and laugh out loud at Staley's over-the-top humor and skewed perception at the world we live in. "You've heard the expression 'through the glass darkly'? Forget that. The looking glass that Staley uses to view our world isn't just dark -- it's fucking obsidian. What you call religion, he terms mind control. Where you see a prom queen, he sees a crack whore. Staley is a writer that focuses on the positive. He's positive that everything sucks." --Brian Keene, Author of The Rising, Fear of Gravity "Shane Ryan Staley's got guts. With todayıs politically correct atmosphere, his no-'holes' barred style of fiction begs to be condemned, chastised, burned at the stake...but his words just keep pulling you along, dragging you into the lives of characters who have turned society's most natural instincts upside-down and inside-out. With a grin and a nervous glance over your shoulder, you'll enjoy these stories." --Kurt Newton, Author of The House Spider and Dark Demons "Staley's basic recipe is to combine large portions of sex and violence, season with human sympathy, shake vigorously and serve piping hot." Garrett Peck, Hellnotes "Staley, the head honcho at Delirium, admittedly isn't for everyone. He specializes in the most in-your-face, defiantly brutal and iconoclastic horror fiction around. He's got a particularly large and unpleasant chip on his shoulder when it comes to organized religion, too...this is well-executed, extreme horror." Jim Lee, Scavenger's Newsletter "Say what you like about Shane Ryan Staley, a lot of people have during his time as a fiction writer, but no-one could ever accuse him of being subtle. His stories are the fictional equivalent of a baseball bat hitting you in the face....This is horror by the seat of the pants - quick fixes of dark humour, OTT violence and major mayhem."
