Title: Spontaneous Human Combustion Author: Richard Thomas Narrator: Pat Grimes, David Bendena, Pete Cross, Noah Michael Levine, Cary Hite, Rupert Degas, Laural Merlington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 28 minutes Release date: February 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: In this new collection, Richard Thomas has crafted fourteen stories that push the boundaries of dark fiction in an intoxicating, piercing blend of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Equally provocative and profound, each story is masterfully woven with transgressive themes that burrow beneath the skin. - A poker game yields a strange prize that haunts one man, his game of chance now turned into a life-or-death coin flip. - A set of twins find they have mysterious new powers when an asteroid crashes in a field near their house and the decisions they make create an uneasy balance. - A fantasy world is filled with one man’s desire to feel whole again, finally finding love, only to have the shocking truth of his life exposed in an appalling twist. - A father and son work slave labor in a brave new world run by aliens and mount a rebellion that may end up freeing them all. - A clown takes off his make-up in a gloomy basement to reveal something more horrifying under the white, tacky skin. Powerful and haunting, Thomas’s transportive collection dares you to examine what lies in the darkest, most twisted corners of human existence and not be transformed by what you find. A foreword by Brian Evenson is included.
