Andrew Barger
31 books250 followersI just edited two classic anthologies - Middle Unearthed: The Best Fantasy Short Stories 1800-1849 along with Mesaerion: The Best Science Fiction Short Stories 1800-1849.
I am the author of "The Divine Dantes" trilogy that is a laugh-out-loud rock love story following the characters of "The Divine Comedy" in modern times.
I also penned the awarding book "Coffee with Poe: A Novel of Edgar Allan Poe's Life." The book brings America's most mysterious author and poet to life as never before. It was a finalist winner in the USA Best Book Awards. Visit my website for exclusive interviews and to buy my titles.

Giveaway First Reads book.
This was a very interesting book. I really enjoyed it and didn't know what to expect at first. It's a collection of seven short stories with an afterword following each short story. I recommend this book to anyone, especially those whom enjoy dark, random, and or short stories.
