Do-Overs and Detours by Steve Vernon

Detours are amazing creatures. They can shortcut your existence or lead you down a forever long road that will linger far into the distant reaches of eternity. It is these unexpected tangents that people stumble across everyday that haunt in a frightening familiar fashion.

Wander into a laundromat and find a kind of time machine. Indulge yourself in a nasty game of baseball. Hitch a ride on a freight train with the piggyback man, entomb yourself in a trailer walled with books, take a ride on a bus that is going nowhere in particular, or just lean over an empty ocean and wait.

Detour around an overturned trailer of chickens and find a chance to do it all over again. Take a taxi ride with a very hungry passenger or a walk in the park to watch a juggler balance severed heads.

Reality will take you only so far--after that there's nothing to rely on but faith and fear.

Fifteen stories.

Five of them, never before published.

We've come to the edge of the map. Let's travel on a little further.

"Armed with a bizarre sense of humor, a huge amount of originality, a flair for taking risks and a strong grasp of characterization - Steve's got the chops for sure." - Dark Discoveries

I seriously wish I had the cash for the subscription. I'm also really excited for Gina Ranalli's book with you guys. To my fellow board members: Dark Regions is a good press, well worth checking out. With Leisure Horror folding, you're not going to find as many mass market paperbacks, so you'll have to dig deeper to find cool, edgy new horror titles. Presses like Dark Regions are going to be the places to find your favorite authors. It takes some digging to get info on small press horror, but do the legwork. If you want to keep the genre strong, show some support. This goes double for those of you looking to write horror. Random House, Leisure and other such places are not going to be the ones putting out your work. The game is changing.
