There's simply no way to make the scary stay away... Christopher E Ellington, the post-post DSL Master of the Macabre, returns to seek the blue flame with his 4th collection of speculative short stories. "Sugar Cain (Who Can Take Tomorrow?)", another title introduced to us on face by the paranormal muse, contains half a dozen chills and one shiver, for those who simply don't have time...and may not, either. In this, the Red Book of Ellington's spectral spectrum, we find Brand New mind fire hot from the aether alongside classics long stored, penned in the time of W. For those yearning discerning who MUST LOOK, something for every dark taste: Lorna-Guy fans surfing their string of theorized woes, are presented a double helping--one brief offering, one longer...the much-anticipated 2nd installment of "We Are the Coin", spreads Time into fragmentation, as an impish friend long gone, isn't...day to day drudgery of dirty job America shoots a wink at the memory of Avrum Davidson, in "A Mess o' Visitors", while again, here is the stark terror of never-ending Time vs. Love, insoluble in face of the uncaring... These and more, character-driven stories goose-stuffed with familiar Ellington-mythos characters, as well as fanciful tales from that outside, from Civil War to extra-dimensional as pressure cooker, make up The Author's most diverse collection, to date. Christopher E Ellington, who after a decade as known force in indie poetry, brought us "Tartarus Sauce" and 2 other disturbing collections in 2020, continues his journey as he has lived it--Alone, and in his head. As he has long told us, "It's forever, in there." Sugar Cain (Who Can Take Tomorrow?), in the tradition of identifiability, screams silently from its red cover, to take a look, and to confront. Very much in kind with The Abyss, the book will confront You.
