Please Don't Tap on the Glass and Other Tales of the Melancholy and Grotesque (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798841150831)

Eleven stories of grief, existential dread, extreme horror, and gross out comedy.

After discovering a tape he's never heard of at a video store closing sale, a VHS collector discovers that sometimes nostalgia comes at a terrible price in Dead Format.

In Weekend at Escobar's, a man finds himself smuggling drugs across the border stuffed inside the corpse of a cartel boss he's trying to pass off as living.

An eighteen-year-old virgin's first trip to the porn store goes horribly awry in Just Like the Real Thing.

With supplies and hope dwindling as they struggle to survive in a fallout shelter, a mother gives her son one last Christmas in the original short story that inspired the award-winning film, I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday.

These and more await as you are invited to gaze into the depths of the twisted mind of filmmaker Mike Lombardo, just be careful you don't tap on the glass, you might not like what you stir up...

"Already an accomplished filmmaker, Mike Lombardo now flexes more aesthetic muscles as a horror writer by delivering this unexpected hard-wallop of a collection. These stories are expertly written studies of all the components that make modern horror tick: chunk-blower gross-out, psycho-sexual fantasy, laugh-out-loud comedy, and poignant examinations of grief."

-Edward Lee, author of OUIJA PIG and THE BIGHEAD

"An entertaining collection of heartfelt horror and gross-out fun that showcases the full range of Mike Lombardo's depraved imagination." - Samantha Kolesnik, author of True Crime and Waif
