About Scott Hughes

Scott Hughes is a Georgia writer who graduated from Mercer University and then received an MFA in creative writing from Georgia College & State University.

His fiction, poetry, and essays have appeared in Deep Magic, Crazyhorse, One Sentence Poems, Entropy, Redivider, Strange Horizons, and Compaso: Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology. He is the Division Head of English & Humanities at Central Georgia Technical College and is currently finishing a young adult novel, Red Twin.

His horror short story collection The Last Book You'll Ever Read is available from Sinister Stoat Press/Weasel Press: "Nimble and poetic and downright freaky, The Last Book You'll Ever Read startles, unsettles, and deeply delights. Scott Hughes has crafted one trip of a read." --Andy Davidson, Bram Stoker Award Nominated Author of In the Valley of the Sun

His poetry collection The Universe You Swallowed Whole is available from Finishing Line Press: "The 'universe' these poems inhabit offers us a delicate balance between poetry and anti-poetry, poems both familiar and strange, or strangely familiar. As the poems in this collection collide, something new appears, something both lyric and numeric, surreal and mundane, irreverent and serious. These poems will knock you for a loop--a Möbius loop!--and off your feet, dizzy, dazed, and bedazzled." -Martin Lammon, Founding Editor of Arts & Letters Journal of Contemporary Culture

His collection of speculative fiction, Horrors & Wonders, is available now: "Hughes's horror is horrific. His fantasy is fantastic. But what makes him unique in a market of cordoned off, rigid genres is his ability to mix the creepy and the wondrous: you're eager to step through the portal into this new world, but you'll quickly wish it hadn't closed off behind you." -Jonathan W. Thurston, Sinister Stoat Press

Nefarious Nature Oct 3, 2020

by Jonathan Thurston

( 2 )

$1.50

Mother Nature is not all sunshine and rainbows…she can have quite the evil and horrific side when unleashed. From films like Jaws, Cujo, The Birds, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to short stories such as “The Wendigo” and “The Black Vein Runs Deep” to novels like The Bridge, After London, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, when nature’s fury is felt there is much hell paid by all those in the way.Collected here, in volume four of our HOWLERS series, are several stories which seek to find an answer to an ageless question: man vs. nature, who will win? Plants, animals, earth, air, fire, and water are looked at through the horror lens, whether it be acts of magic and menace, an ageless horror sleeping unsoundly, giant shapeless masses squirming in a bed, or the motion of the world itself all in the palm of an unlikely subject. These stories are meant to take you beyond the sunny, tropical veil of the normal and into the cold, grim dark of the weird…

by Jay Chakravarti

( 4 )

$4.99

FEAR THAT TUGS AT YOUR ROOTS...

|| Featuring 24 horror stories from 24 contemporary authors around the world, “Creep” attempts to capture the nuances of fear that seem to tug at our very roots, whether it is a store at the centre of hell that promises eternal monotony and helplessness, or a ghastly pair of lips and a hungry mouth with yellow teeth that appear on the torso of a reformed anorexic.

Great is the pull and variety of the narrative when an African care worker is trapped with an old woman in an English mansion with clear signs of witchcraft all around her, or when a revolting escalation of events opens you up to the harrowing lengths a vengeful bully can go to work the cyberspace to his advantage."Creep" is a collection of stories that will steal your mind by bringing your intellect, lineage and even your bodies into the equation ||

|| Authors who have contributed to this anthology are: Rohit Sawant, Donald McCarthy, David F. Shultz, Isabella Hunter, Masimba Musodza, Scott Hughes, Keely O'Shaughnessy, Cynthia Stock, Mark Towse, Marc Dickerson, Diane Arrelle, Steve Perrie, Jonathon Pantelis, J. E.

Masques: Poetry of Identities Jul 10, 2020

by Jay Chakravarti

( 3 )

$4.99

Masques features over sixty poets from around the world who have expressed their interpretation of the role that tangible and intangible masks play to determine and augment the human experience. Often enough, these masks are the defining aspect of human personalities and concerns their intrinsic identity.

Most of the poems in this anthology are deeply personal where the poet has revealed a part of their very soul to address the question of identity.

These poems reveal that our world is truly a masquerade. It may not have the Victorian quality of an evening of frolick, but is nonetheless a parade of souls who are often forced to wear masks of many shapes and dimensions to be who they truly want to be.

We intend this collection of poetry to be a little ray of hope in these dark times. To read about the many facets of human personalities, or the masks they wear, may hopefully have a cathartic effect on those who are tired of wearing masks of several shapes and shades to hide or in some cases, uphold their true selves.
