CUT TO CARE:
A COLLECTION OF LITTLE HURTS
by Aaron Dries, featuring an introduction by Mick GARRIS available here!

"These stories are as disturbing as they are emotionally authentic and devastating. Humanistic horror. Beautiful. Grotesque. And all too real."

— Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club.

An agency that sends social workers into the homes of grieving families to impersonate dead loved ones... The kind old woman who saved a teenager's life but now finds herself haunted by the weight of a cheated suicide... And the daughter of a candlestick maker as she tries to survive a painful existence after her father's execution for making human chandeliers from drunken cowboys...

These stories and more -- ranging from supernatural to the frighteningly domestic, Splatterpunk to the weird and cosmic -- stain the pages of CUT TO CARE: A COLLECTION OF LITTLE HURTS by Aaron Dries. They serve as a timely reminder of the cost of caring too much. Or not caring enough. Of how we mask cruelties behind kindness. And of our willingness to rip ourselves apart in the hope of satisfying a world that doesn't always care for you back.

Featuring an exclusive introduction by Mick Garris, creator of Showtime's MASTERS OF HORROR and director of Stephen King's THE STAND, this unforgettable collection truly cuts deep. Available from IFWG Publishing.

"Dries dissects themes of mental health, memory, and momentary mistakes in this heart-wrenching collection excised from everyday life.”

— Lee Murray, USA Today Bestselling author, Shirley Jackson, and Bram Stoker Award® winner

"Dries writes with the confidence of someone who doesn't just know our universal truths, but our mostly deeply hidden secrets. This collection left me shaken."

— Paul Michael Anderson, author of Bones Are Made To Be Broken and Everything Will Be All Right In the End: Apocalypse Songs.

"Dries takes personal fears and moulds them into universal truths. And the truths he writes of most powerfully are those associated with the terror of simply being alive."

— Gary McMahon, British-Fantasy-Award-nominated author of Rough Cut and All Your Gods Are Dead

A Place for Sinners PROMO ART https://www.aarondries.com/apps/photos/ A Place for Sinners PROMO ART The Dead Bird "Of all the horrible things Amity had seen, this undid her the most. The bird spoke to some deep, primal part of her being. Amity understood. She, too, was ripped open and was exposed." - A PLACE FOR SINNERS by Aaron Dries (coming 2014) https://www.aarondries.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189540352 189540352 Monkey Shines "Their little faces were alike, distinguished only by variations of disease and blood splatter. One monkey sat on the last son?s shoulder; it was dressed in the remains of a pink tutu. Its marble eyes were sad, downcast. It, like the rest of its kind, seemed to understand the gravity of their failure." - A PLACE FOR SINNERS by Aaron Dries (coming 2014) https://www.aarondries.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189540353 189540353 They Closed In "Amity was trapped, her back flat against the cave wall. The dogs glared at her with candle-flame eyes, flickering with the potential to burn and cause pain. The dogs had claimed her as their own. Coveted her. Her blood was a sweetness they found favorable, and they were desperate for more." - A PLACE FOR SINNERS by Aaron Dries (coming 2014) https://www.aarondries.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189540354 189540354 The Stalker "It had been with her always, lurking behind the thin fabric of her life. Its fin always within sight. Sometimes, when Susan Sycamore woke in the middle of the night, wanting to destroy her family, she went to the mirror and saw it swimming behind the glass. The evocative ripples of watery shadows, silken and elegant, over its impenetrable hide. Now the shark, a great white, had caught up with her." - A PLACE FOR SINNERS by Aaron Dries (coming 2014) https://www.aarondries.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189540355 189540355
