“The collection begins strong and only gets better as you weave your way through holiday horrors, naughtiness, and just pure esoteric fear. The only problem is you’ll be more interested in reading the next story than opening your presents. Pick it up. You won’t be able to put it down.”
James Mackenzie, Asheville Literary Tours

Perfect for the holidays!
“Voyles presents us with a solid collection of Christmas horror with a refreshing range. From new takes on old classics, to innovative and unique ways to scare us, this collection has it all. The namesake novella is the real prize here, and it alone could justify the purchase of this wonderful collection.”

Another collection of original horror stories by David Allen Voyles
“Reading Tales from the Hearse is like watching your favourite anthology series or movie; you’ll get that same mix of pleasure and chills. These diverse stories might deal with familiar tropes, such as a crypt, graveyard or creepy movie theatre, evil kids and damned souls, but they’re definitely handled in a way you haven’t seen before.
Maybe it’s because Voyles is an accomplished oral storyteller that you can “hear” the words as you read, but man, can this guy create an atmosphere! They’re old-fashioned, but I mean that in the very best possible sense—because they’re crafted in a way you don’t see all that often nowadays. There’s also an emotional core to them which makes you care, characters you can relate to with all the shades of grey that come with that.
It’s very exciting to read a new writer—new to me, anyway—who makes the hairs prickle on the back of your neck. Check out these stories and see for yourself.
– Paul Kane, best-selling writer and Bram Stoker award-winning author of horror and suspense
