Pirate Books of Horror Surprise Box


Yo ho ho, motherfuckers!

You like pirates?  (I know you do.)

You like intense, gut-churning horror?  (Well, you must, if you're here.)

You like boxes full of surprises, provided they're not your fiancée's head?  (Doubtless.  And probably, some would also like the head thing, if they lead particularly unpleasant domestic lives.)

Well, then, guess what?  I am extremely excited to be partnering with Indie Book Boxes to bring you a brand new, limited edition of one of my most beloved novellas.  

Will there be blood?  Yes.

Will this be no country for men, old or otherwise?  Oh, hell yes!

Will there be atonement?  Eh, I mean, probably not, but this best movies of 2007 joke works better if I include a third rhetorical questions here.

So run - don't walk (the plank!) - over to Etsy and grab your surprise box now, before they're all scooped up!
