You swear you can hear the ticking of a pocket watch somewhere far off, beating like the cadence of a gallows drum."I've never seen anything like it," you utter, your voice strange and airy. "It's like... I've seen this place before. In a dream.""I knew it'd speak to you," your host says quietly, anticipation in his tone. His voice is muffled now, carried away on an old western wind. "I call these works 'impressions.' They give you a glimpse into another life, a scene playing out in some other realm."Some other realm? You think. But his words, let alone your own thoughts, barely register now. The image—the impression—has its hold on you...EMBERLETTER PRESS PRESENTS The Dread Queen and Other Dark Impressions, seven stories from the imaginative mind of debut author Geoff Emberlyn.Travel through realms familiar yet unknown as you're pulled away by these strange tales, these images from near-forgotten dreams.A scientist keeps his macabre laboratory operating even with the ends of the earth raging outside his door.An everyman tries to escape from the memory of his most wretched day.The cellar of an abandoned farmhouse contains a doorway between space and time.And more!Featuring the epic novelette, Corinthians, and the brief memoir, "Haunted Hearts," The Dread Queen and Other Dark Impressions is a vivid and fast-paced collection of horror, dark fantasy, and surreal tales sure to haunt audiences and spark imaginations.
