Hickory Nuts and Bones: And Other Uncomfortable Tales

By David Niall Wilson

In this new, definitive collection, multiple Bram Stoker Award-win-

ning author David Niall Wilson presents a combination of his best

published work, and a selection of new, dark tales, some drawn from

childhood memories, and others inspired by passion, and pain.

A man is called to the tiny, dying town where he spent years with his

grandparents, only to be drawn into memories that were never what

they seemed. A different perspective on Jack the Ripper, inspired by

Patricia Cornwell. An unexpected inheritance takes a winding path

through Native American folklore straight into cosmic horror.

From the novelette that birthed one of his most popular novels, to a

personal experience that changed his life, the author leads readers

down trails that define his work, and his vision. These stories exem-

plify the title of his website, Writing What Hurts. You see, he wants to

tell you a story.
