Dearest Death: A Collection
Humans are, so far as we know, the only creatures on this planet who mark the passage of time. As such, we are keenly aware from an early age that time is tick, tick, ticking away.
In the end, for all of us, is Death. We fear it. We are intoxicated by it. We run from it and somehow find ourselves wrapped in its dark-robed arms.
A small village suffering through a terrifying plague seek a solution from a prophet. A “pig” crawls on his hands and knees through the dark labyrinth of a BDSM dungeon in search of the only thing that can satiate his hunger. Two young men find themselves chased through the woods by a real-life urban legend. A lonely young man finds a boon companion in Death.
These stories and more fill Darkest Death, a collection of short horror fiction by W. Dale Jordan, author of The Stop.

This collection is superb! I love the way the intimate is tangled up with the dark and terrifying!
It’s hard to pick a favorite story, they all tread on different ground while coming back to the horror!
Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a collection chock full of sex and death, look no further than Jordan's Dearest Death - chock full of every bodily fluid and emotion known to man, and then some!
Highlights for me were Between the Shrieks, Family Demon, Prophesy, the bookending 1:23 am & 1:23 am Deleted Scenes, and finally the disgusting masterpiece known as Truffles! You are not prepared for Truffles, I tell you!
Jordan has created a very personal yet easily accessible collection of horror and dark fiction that will leave you thinking about his angry, earnest prose long after you close the back cover. But don't say you haven't been warned - very few if any get out of this one alive!
