Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it. 

These are the words of Crawford Award-nominated fantasy author J.M. McDermott (Last Dragon and Never Knew Another). McDermott says it with aliens, magical frogs, and the Berlin wall. Share his discoveries in nature, bug-infested basements, and visions of death. 

Visions of the future. 

Visions of forgotten pasts. 

It's all here in J.M. McDermott's powerful collection of dark fantasy and horror from Apex Publications.
