The Meaning of Blood and Other Tales of Perversity
Chuck Caruso
(Author)
Description
In The Meaning of Blood and Other Tales of Perversity, Chuck Caruso combines his deep roots in the American Gothic with his own contemporary sense of macabre humor. These stories range from crime thrillers to western noir to grotesque horror. Each twisted tale displays Caruso's unique blend of wry prose, feverish storytelling, and tragically-flawed characters discovering that even the most innocent encounter can lead to death. Or sex. Or both.Product Details

Reviews
"If Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, and Ray Bradbury were to mix their DNA, their literary lovechild would be Chuck Caruso. These mindblowing stories had me hungering for more." - Orlando Ortega Medina, author of Jerusalem Ablaze "Chuck is an author to keep your eye on." - Johnny Shaw, Anthony Award-winning author of Big Maria "The Meaning of Blood screams (and I mean screams!) Edgar Allan Poe. Caruso is more than a Poe expert. He's practically Poe reincarnated, channeling the master's dark spirit to create stories that feel both ominously gothic and totally fresh." --Steve Hockensmith, author of the New York Times bestseller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls "A lethal cocktail of harboiled noir, gothic horror and more." --Paul D. Brazill, author of Last Year's Man and A Case of Noir
