This is a Horror Book

After reading this book please bring this tome back to your local library. Seriously! This is an extremely important book and if you do not bring this book back, you risk letting out a chaos magick spell that will destroy the world, as beasts bring destruction to life itself. That includes bunnies. Do you really want to face killer bunnies, and don't think Charlize Theron will save you. She won't! So read this extremely important horror book and then bring it back, and also don't look at Internet porn at your local library, it's rude and attracts succubi!

Sincerely,
CLASH Books Librarian

"Charles Austin Muir might be one of my favorite new authors. This is a Horror Book is as silly as it is scary."

- Danger Slater, author of He Digs a Hole, Puppet Skin and I Will Rot without You

"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
