“Jim Thompson meets John Milton in this thrilling supernatural riff on the old collections racket.”

-Edgar Award-winning author Charles Ardai


Sam Thornton collects souls.


The souls of the damned, to be precise.


Once taken himself, he’s now doomed to ferry souls to hell for all eternity, in service of a debt he can never repay. But when he's dispatched to retrieve the soul of a girl he believes is innocent of the horrific crime for which she’s been damned, Sam does something no Collector has ever done before: he refuses.

8 POUNDS:

EIGHT TALES OF CRIME, HORROR, & SUSPENSE

Poisonville Press

Now available!


“When you’re twenty-seven deep in line at his ninth signing, you’ll still remember these stories. They’re that good.”

-Steve Weddle, editor of Needle Magazine


These eight tales run the gamut from small-town horror to old-school, whiskey-slugging noir, with a touch of coming-of-age adventure thrown in for good measure. We're talking over a hundred print pages of pure pulp perfection that'll cost you less than the paper it ain't printed on.


Includes the Spinetingler-Award-winning "Seven Days of Rain," Derringer-Award finalist "The Big Score," and "The World Behind," which originally appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.


Also included are "A Better Life," "The Well," "A Simple Kindness," "Eight Pounds," and "The Toll Collectors."
