'Geneve Flynn won Best poem, "You Swallowed Your Tongue", in the AHWA Australasian Shadows Award for Poetry.'We are all prey to this anthology of modern fables and dark tales.Bestiary of Blood was conceived in a moment of revelation, born from the visceral experience of watching nature's savage ballet-lions tearing into flesh, hyenas gnawing bones, sharks thrashing in crimson waters. These raw spectacles gave rise to a chilling epiphany: life and death are entwined in a grotesque dance, each feeding the other in a ceaseless cycle of transformation, creating…beauty.This paradox is captured in its full glory in Bestiary of Blood, a modern anthology of predation's horrors inspired by the timeless tales of Aesop's Fables, modernized for a more complex, unforgiving world. Exploring the joy in our hurts, the wrongs in our rights, and the suffering in the shadows of our light, Bestiary of Blood invites you to the intersection of human and animal experience, crafting dark tales that resonate with life's endless cycles of transformation.Written by 37 of Horror's greatest writers, Including 18 Bram Stoker Award Winners, this anthology features diverse voices from every walk of life as they usher you through the darkest and most profound questions of the modern age:Linda D.
