NOW AVAILABLE! GenreBlast Books has unleashed Evan Baughfman‘s collection of animal-attack horror fiction, MAULS OF THE WILD! “They bite. They slash. We scream…
In this twisted collection of animal-attack fiction, no one is safe from razor-sharp teeth, mandibles, pincers, talons, and powerful jaws! Not World War II sailors escaping a torpedo-ravaged ship. Not a group of thrill-seekers ziplining along an idyllic mountainside.
Not even extraterrestrial beings visiting from outer space. All of these folks (and more!) encounter relentless, hungry creatures in the fang-and-claw-filled tales of horror wrangler Evan Baughfman.” Twenty-eight stories, including a stage play, a found-footage “transcript,” and “This Little Piggy”– a tale about a killer guinea pig (yes, you read that right)! Get your copy of MAULS OF THE WILD on Amazon or at: https://genreblastbooks.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-mauls-of-the-wild-by-evan-baughfman
