Two New Titles Announced from Dark Regions Press
The palette of history and horror mingle in the hues of crimson blood and blackest death. The ghosts of the past mourn for lives unfinished, vengeance unfulfilled, and loves lost. The heart beats in a cacophony of anticipation and fear, echoing with the memory of those that once were, once danced, once believed.
Hues of fear, of woe and dying. Shades of death, of blood and shadow. Fallen women, queens, and angels. Angry men, ghosts, and devils. Life is woven in a tapestry of joy and sorrow; painted in the colors of pain, and triumph, and love. What artistry is found within the soul of every man — some perfection, some wretched — painted words and pictures of things glorious and of things unspeakable.
Angeline Hawkes writes with the fatalistic poetry of unstoppable history gone disturbingly wrong. — John Everson, Bram Stoker Award winning author
Shades of Blood and Shadow represents only a taste of the hundreds of short stories penned by Bram Stoker Award nominated writer Angeline Hawkes. From ancient Mayans to the horrors at Chernobyl, she pulls you into the hearts and minds of fiendish creatures and tortured man. History offers up the wayward and the monstrous in this collection of ghoulish hues.
“Angeline Hawkes’s … imagination seems to tend toward a Lovecraftian-meets-George Romero-in-a-dark-alley sensibility.” — Robert Butterfield, Necropsy: The Review of Horror Fiction
“…Angeline Hawkes conducts an orchestra of creatures that are both bloody and sexy. You won’t forget this tour through historical horror; it’s a sumptuous smorgasbord for beasts craving variety.” –Gregory Lamberson, author of Johnny Gruesome and Personal Demons
“…every story is unique, and every story works. Angeline Hawke’s writing is sharp, elegant and satisfying in the most deliciously dark way.” — Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Zombie CSU and Patient Zero

Dean Andersson, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of I Am Dracula, Raw Pain Max, and the Bloodsong Saga
“Chambers is adept at striking the perfect balance of darkness and light…” –Dark Wisdom
They say Mooncat Jack takes the kids nobody is watching, the kids nobody wants. They say he takes them in the dark and smiles with teeth like black dice and eyes like pools of dead water waiting to suck them down to…someplace else….
Darkness is everywhere. It lingers in the echoes of the past and dwells behind the closed doors of ordinary houses. It rises from the dead and hides behind the face of true love. Pretend you don’t see it, but you know it’s there. You know, sooner or later, a day will come when you feel its touch and see its face.
“…Chambers writes stories that are paced fast enough to friction burn a reader’s eyeballs.” –Horror Reader.com
Now from one of dark fiction’s most powerful new voices comes this collection of nightmare visions of the things that live beyond the light. Sure, they say James Chambers is a normal guy. They say he doesn’t look like a horror writer. And yet he’s gazed into the dark and lived to tell these tales of madness and betrayal, shocking Lovecraftian mysteries, and terrifying journeys into history. Known for creating surprising twists and haunting characters, Chambers delivers atmospheric suspense mixed with disturbing, psychological dread. Consider these stories to be cautionary tales, warnings of the unseen horrors that lurk all around us, and read them if you dare.
“This is one mean word jockey.” –CJ Henderson
Published here for the first time anywhere is Chamber’s chilling novelette of the New York City underworld: “Five Points.”
