Jon Padgetts acclaimed collection/hybrid novel, The Secret of Ventriloquism , named the Best Fiction Book by Rue Morgue Magazine , now returns in an expanded edition of the original, with three new stories.
The book features Dave Feltons iconic cover art and frontispiece as well as a Foreword by the legendary Thomas Ligotti.
With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Ligotti, and Bruno Schulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Padgetts work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence, and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both.
A bullied child seeks vengeance within a beds hollow box spring.
A lucid dreamer is haunted by an impossible house.
A dummy reveals its own anatomy in 20 simple steps.
A paranoid flyers worst fears are realized in a way not even he could imagine.
A stuttering librarian holds the key to a mill towns unspeakable secrets.
A commuters worldview is shattered by two words printed on a cardboard sign.
An aspiring ventriloquist spends a little too much time looking at himself in a mirror.
A burnt out woman seeks out an invisible, identity-blasting hole of alluvium.
A spirit of homelessness plans its escape to a possibly mythical mountain.
A fog-soaked city heaves its dying breath.
And a presence speaks through them all.
