"""Wry, edgy, and satisfyingly dark. Pre-Approved for Haunting deploys modes of traditional horror to hit a very contemporary nerve."" —Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels ""With a distinctive voice and subtle dark humor, Patrick Barb infuses classic horror scenarios with a touch of the surreal. This book feels mythic and yet very much of-the-moment."" —Christi Nogle, author of The Best of Our Past, the Worst of Our Future ""Barb's debut collection not only seems to touch on every type of horror: his stories cross-pollinate different horror subgenres to create a number of entirely new—and surprising, and satisfying—species. An ambitious collection that both knows the rules, and knows exactly when to break them.” —Brian Evenson, author of The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell"
