This is a Horror Book

“This book is so packed full of bloodshed, mayhem, dream logic, horror movie references, magic spells, hip-hop and weird sex that I don't know what else you could possibly want.” – Scott Cole, author of Triple Axe and Slices: Tales of Bizarro and Absurdist Horror 

 “One of the hardest tasks an author has is finding a voice that’s distinctly his own, with no apologies to anyone else’s use of words or language. Charles Austin Muir has found his, and it’s deceptive. Funny and self-mocking, his tales unwind like a story tossed at you from the guy at the next bar stool. You listen, nod, not paying much attention and then – wham! You get hit with a punchline, or more importantly, the point. This is a Horror Book is that experience on paper, unwinding on page after page, and then coming at you with revelation about beer-guzzling buddies, The Shining, or just what it means to think about what’s lurking in the dark. This is a Horror Book is a life-mosaic in words, touching on common experience and the unreal, all written with the voice of a sly trickster by a fine horror author who’s come into his own.” -C. Courtney Joyner, author of Nemo Rising and the Shotgun Western series and screenwriter/director with credits including Prison, Class of 1999 and Trancers 3
