Tales of Sin and Madness
Brett McBean

Aurealis and Ditmar award nominated horror author Brett McBean (The Last Motel, The Familiar Stranger, The Mother) continues his exploration of the dark side of the human character by bringing you twenty-one tales of sin and madness. From zombies roaming the Australian outback, to psychopaths roaming New York City, McBean plunges the depths of human depravity, and delves into a sick and sordid world of serial killers, Manson-like cults, even road kill and cheap souls. So pull up a seat in front of the campfire, grab a marshmallow or two, and come and take a journey into the heart of darkness with one of Australia’s leading voices in dark fiction.

“McBean’s voice is one that should be heard – a hint of Laymon and Koontz, yet distinctly his own.”
—Brian Keene, author of ‘The Rising’ and ‘Terminal’

“Brett McBean is as brash and brutal as a young Jack Ketchum. He visits the dark rooms inside us all.”
—Scott Nicholson author of ‘The Manor’ and ‘The Farm’

"Brett McBean...writes without a safety net and crosses all lines as he illuminates the true essence of fear."
—John Paul Allen, author of ‘Gifted Trust’

"McBean pumps up the tension to unbearable levels, and then lets rip."
—Tim Lebbon, author of ‘Fears Unnamed’ and ‘Desolation’
