A deserted quarry, where a young girl dangles her feet high above a fathomless pool filled with countless dead things. A circus tent, where a madman thwarts a murderer with his own diabolical plans. A half-lit basement, where the tools of a maniac's extreme weight-loss program are a cage, a knife and a wet/dry vacuum. These places and more are the settings of This Terrestrial Hell, the first short fiction collection by Cemetery Dance writer and FEARnet columnist, Kevin Quigley. Comprised of eleven stories of horror, lunacy, and human desperation, This Terrestrial Hell announces a fresh and often frightening new voice in fiction. Populated with murderers, pregnant teenage girls withviolent secrets, and frantic young men with borrowed guns, this collection stares unblinkingly into the dark depths of hell on earth.
