For many of us, the ocean is our first true encounter with infinity. It extends past the horizon, leaving the imagination to ponder what lies beyond what we can clearly see. And what lies beneath. What terrors live below the sea's waves? What monsters lurk in the dark fathoms of Earth's waters? Where there is mystery, there is horror.

Murder of Storytellers

Not so long ago, human beings were cursed with fear. They clamored for hope in a world of boundless suffering and death. They called out to the heavens and summoned gods. They crafted religions that would serve as a candle against the howling night. That which alights must also burn. A zealot spits venomous words from his pulpit, his congregation listening and nodding, their disgust with their neighbors boiling into a riotous rage. A girl returns from Bible Camp nine-months pregnant with God's child--images of a golden flame pressing on her chest, paralyzing her, flood her nightmares. Heaven replaces its angels with automata, dispensing salvation and damnation with callous efficiency. Book of Blasphemous Words is a weird fiction, horror, and speculative fiction anthology about humanity's relationship with its gods. When we answer the call for salvation from the bondage of the material--when we believe in gods--we reach a hand into the unknown and risk losing it to something peckish. When we forget the power of the hearth, we risk a conflagration that can return civilization to the dirt whence it has come.

The Book of Blasphemous Words

Ash Winters is an apprentice magus with two choices--go to magic school or become an executor for the Eye in the Lock. The first means dealing with his estranged and esteemed father, Prelate DeWilde of the Collegium. The second means learning who taught Theo Tamsin the Heart of Storms, a forbidden spell powerful enough to create a hurricane, and killing him for having cast it over the city of New Orleans. As Ash becomes involved in Theo's world, he begins to learn that they are only pawns in a brutal chess game as old as magic itself.
