Underworld Dreams is Daniel Braum’s third short story collection of genre transcending, strange, and sinister stories full of tension between the supernatural and psychological. Within the audiobook, Braum’s multi-dimensional characters face dark underworlds and strange experiences that illuminate the human condition and world (we think) we know. Occult detectives, cursed fur coats, a treasure hunt in an abandoned mental institution, and sharks learning to hunt on land are among the scares awaiting listeners.

Story4 out of 5 stars 20
The town of Red Bluff, Mississippi, has seen better days, though those who've held on have little memory of when that was. Myer, the county's aged, sardonic lawman, still thinks it can prove itself - when confronted by a strange family of drifters, the sheriff believes that the people of Red Bluff can be accepting, rational, even good. The opposite is true: This is a landscape of fear and ghosts - of regret and violence - transformed by the kudzu vines that have enveloped the hills around it, swallowing homes, cars, rivers, and hiding a terrible secret deeper still.

Derelictions are horror stories told in ways you may not have encountered before. Something is missing from the silent places and worlds inside these stories. Something has been removed, taken flight, or been destroyed. Us. Derelictions are weird tales that tell of aftermaths and of new and liminal places. Each location has witnessed catastrophe, infernal visitations, or unearthly transformations. But across these landscapes of murder, genocide and invasion, crucial evidence remains.

The supernatural, the surreal, and the all-too real...tales of the dark. Such stories have always fascinated us, and modern authors carry on the disquieting traditions of the past while inventing imaginative new ways to unsettle us. Chosen from a wide variety of venues, these stories are as eclectic and varied as shadows.

Publisher's Summary
An NPR Best Book of 2020!
Dark Blood Comes from the Feet is a strange and eclectic collection of 17 stories from horror author and speculative poet Emma J. Gibbon. In this audiobook, you will meet secret societies who contract deadly diseases on purpose, dancers helping each other avoid "below", monstrous children who must be loved before they return to the sea, a taxidermy-obsessed mother, small blue devils in the Maine woods, a black cat that retrieves the dying, the last witch in Florida, and "a huge f--king dog of potentially supernatural origin".
Visit haunted houses, a Hollywood nightclub, limbo, Whitechapel, and other stops on a death tour, and a childhood hangout that spells destruction for kids and dogs alike. Listen to a punk rock sermon in a post-apocalyptic matriarchal society, witness crustaceans that have trouble staying dead, a cannibalistic romance, a gothic love story to tuberculosis, and a downtrodden wife's transformation.
