One Day in Hell: and other Uncanny Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492139973)

Gregory Adams writes stories that are clever, inventive, fun, and a joy to read. They are light and dark at once, and offer the pleasant sting of subversion and strangeness we find in the masters of the form." ---Brendan Halpin, author of Enter the Bluebird, Donorboy, and It Takes a Worried Man "Inspired by the tentacular monstrosities that wait without, and seasoned with enough humor to make you laugh, Adams' writing is a joy to read from start to finish." --- Kevin Kulp, author of Elephants and Rain and TimeWatch "Had Roald Dahl and H.P. Lovecraft managed to combine across time and space, the result would have been a creature of unspeakable hideousness and malevolence. Fortunately, we can skip the hideousness and malevolence and enjoy the stories of Gregory Adams, whose work provides the sharp jolt of dark humor that marks the best of Dahl's work wrapped around the existential terror at the heart of Lovecraft's. You'll scream--with delight!" ---Seamus Cooper, author of The Mall of Cthulhu and Terror at The Shore
