A Kindle exclusive digital chapbook from the minds of R. Thomas Riley and John Grover. Over 30k of never before published and previously published fiction. The Time of the LivingAmeliaThe Lesser of Two EvilsCelerityA Deeper Shade of RedThe Run Amongst the DeadFeaturing an excerpt from "If God Doesn't Show", a collaborative novel coming from Permuted Press in 2012Praise for Riley's work - “R. Thomas Riley is a rising star. When you see those zombie and vampires digging their way up from the grave, and you see that hand break the surface of the earth, the backdrop a tombstone, you see one on his way up--that's a guy named R. Thomas Riley.” - Robert W. Walker, Bestselling Author of the INSTINCT Series."A natural storyteller with a concise voice, R. Thomas Riley truly entertains in this collection. Unsettling at times, truly compelling. Riley's moody & wild tales kick hard and crank the appetite for more."- Steven L. Shrewsbury, Author of HAWG, TORMENTOR and GODFORSAKEN."Almost universally the atmosphere of [Riley's] stories are dark and claustrophobic. There are no happy moments in these tales and there is seldom any hint of a happy ending. Riley’s descriptions are mostly tight and always evocative. In this area he excels, drawing you in and holding you close to the underbelly of the human race. It’s not pretty, but it’s very well handled." - Buffy the Vampire Slayer Author James A. MoorePraise for Grover's Work - "I made an eerily fun discovery when I picked up a chapbook called Terror in Small Doses by John Grover. It is thin (about 44 pages) and contains six short stories written by John Grover. The stories are entertaining and range from the supernatural to the more realistic. There is no overall theme that connects this collection, except the stories are moody, suspenseful, well written and damn fun." -Benjamin Boulden for SFreader.com"John Grover, co-author of Space Stations and Grave Yards, and author of the forthcoming book A Beckoning of Shadows, is a talented young author whose work is fresh and original. Terror in Small Doses is a worthy effort showcasing his unique vision of darkness." -Shannon Riley for Horror World
