About Wounds: Six Stories from the Border of Hell
Nathan Ballingrud’s collection links six stories of terror around the borderlands of Hell. An occult map draws a collector into danger in An Atlas of Hell; a New Orleans bartender discovers disturbing images in The Visible Filth; and pirates carry a sinister expedition toward Hell in The Butcher’s Table. The stories combine dread, violence, and strange beauty.
