Lump: A Collection of Short Stories

by Claire L. Fishback

In these pages you’ll find Lump, a tortured soul who only wants one thing. You’ll find a recording of the future, a cult that worships tools, faces in windows, haunted mirrors and doors. You’ll find a hotel in which time is of no consequence. It’s a book where the spare parts store isn’t what you think, and an auction is for more than just the deceased’s estate. It’s a book full of creatures and beasts of all shapes and sizes, as well as a few aliens. This is a book in which you can swap your brain into a new body and live forever, and if you have dementia, you can close your eyes and remember. It’s a book full of stories to fill the silences.

Claire has thrown together a brilliant collection of horror tales ranging from snacky vignettes to more meaty shorts. They are the perfect stories to gobble up while enjoying a Colorado micro-brew on a warm summer’s eve. Or you may want to binge a bunch of the stories at a time, which is what I did. They are creepy, unsettling, and fun (horror fans know what I mean). And you may find that “Lump” will whet your appetite for heartier fare. Claire Fishback’s debut novel, “The Blood of Seven,” a tight horror-mystery filled with cults, secret societies, and forbidden knowledge, releases on June 21st.

I'm a big fan of horror anthologies and can safely say that this one is Great.

It was on offer at amazon (couldn't resist the price) so I snapped it up even though I knew nothing about the author but I do now and I thoroughly enjoyed her originality and story telling.

Highly recommended to any fan of horror and I'll be looking out for more from this author.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! Some stories had me terrified, some were just heartwarming, and some made me cry. What an incredibly talented author! I can’t wait to read her other books!
