The Clown King and Other Stories of the Pre-Apocalypse
A teenage horror fan searches for the origins of a too-real, homemade slasher film. Two siblings inherit a statue that draws worshippers from around the world. A struggling restaurant's survival depends on a mythical beast. And in the title story, a nationwide phenomenon of sinister clown sightings portends the arrival of something far more catastrophic.

The 17 stories in Tom Coombe's debut collection take place on the edge of disaster, where vampiric priests, evil statues and fitness cults are only harbingers of worse things to come.
