More Description

This anthology is the most Gothic of the series and holds the story that is similar to Kealan Patrick Burke''s quiet horror delivery. This features Reality Check anthology mate Terry Vinson and protégé Casey Gordon who proves himself on an epic scale with this one. He carries the story with this one and Joseph Armstead does the chilling introduction. Tabloid Purposes IV produced a spin off anthology called Nickolaus Albert Pacione Delivers: A Library Of Unknown Horrors and that even produced a sequel. You will see Casey Gordon, Nickolaus A. Pacione, S.G. Cardin, Terry Vinson, Gary Starta, and introducing Pauline Ramsey do stories that will leave one scared for years.
     If you''re idea of a reading pattern of 28-37 years old is The Toad And The Frog Together; this is not your mother''s horror anthology. If you read Tabloid Purposes IV not ready for a horror anthology; you might need to change your diapers if you''re reading that known book.
     So don''t be a fucking baby if you are unhinged by this anthology''s Stygian matter. You bastards will be crawling back to mother with some of these horror stories better cast your ass to the wind with some of them. Passenger from the editor is a dark philosophical examination of health by way of sickness and death examining life. Much as the anthology that April Derleth''s father was published in with his posthumous TOC mates H. P. Lovecraft and Rod Serling in 1990. The author who has the common tie to that anthology in the era was the short story Safety Zone as Pacione noticed this had the strongest language. This anthology is known as New England Ghosts (American Ghosts. The ISBN for this is 978-1558530904.)
     Pacione kept the swearing minimal like in Ghosts In The Tornado and this is a 7000 word entry for him. Ghosts In The Tornado swears harder though than Passenger. Passenger was written when Pacione was out of the ER at the apartment and thinking of the horror of what unfolded afterward. Pacione studied Burke''s story Empathy to write this. It took a scary new trait when three of his friends died of health reasons under forty. One of them died in the year this anthology was published and Barbara Malenky didn''t live to see IV become what it is. An Ex-Tabloid Purposes contributor had forced Pacione''s hand in coming to CreateSpace.com in 2008 with this one but Pacione forgot his password for many years. Tested out the e-mail and sent "forgot my password" introduced Legend Keeper here and remembered he had IV here too so he started tinkering with the original PDFs. The covers look a lot darker and some ways in Pacione''s terms a "lot angrier."
     This anthology illustrates the many faces of the fear of the unknown from H. P. Lovecraft''s Supernatural Horror In Literature as you can read this on http://www.hplovecraft.com. If you are trying to lump Pacione''s publications with Judy Blume; you really haven''t been paying attention. Pacione on epinions speaks of how he saw Mario Bava''s Black Sabbath when he was 20 years old. How this found it''s way into writing Passenger. Then on a recent blog speaking of Legend Keeper he speaks of Frank Colin the self-hating Anti-Semite who dressed up as a Nazi and paraded around Skokie, Illinois. He had compared what his rival author (who wrote Chaos) did with her infamous comment to what Colin did. He tried to warn Rockaway Township they can''t handle that kind of controversy as Pacione visited the vicinity claimed to be Frank''s warpath. Pacione called Colin "a child-raping faggot" in the preface of Legend Keeper. Gary Starta and Pacione were talking of this; the tone made Passenger even darker in the way it plays out. It''s noted for immortalizing Pantera in a very unique era, and for the Pantera fans this will be a hard one to read for them.
