"Francesca and Mark have assembled a spellbinding anthology of black cats, including scary felines, miraculous kittens, and cats who traverse space and time. A purrfect book to spend an afternoon with!" -S.D. and Heather Vassallo, founders of Brigids Gate Press, LLC. "There's something for everyone: a vengeful ghost; a cat that dislikes a newly adopted stray; a cat that saves the victim of domestic abuse; a tiny kitten that brings its owners larger and larger dispatched prey; an irritating neighbor and his cat-are they what they seem? 5 out of 5 Crows" - Horror Tree "If there's anything that even comes close to capturing just how mysterious and multifaceted these regal creatures are, it's this collection." -Tasha Reynolds, co-founder of The Sinister Scoop"Put an anthology of black cat tales in front of a horror fan, and it's like setting out a bowl of milk for your favorite feline. I couldn't stop lapping it up!" -Dianna Sinovic, author of Scream of the Silent Sun"Each story and poem has something to offer the reader and I highly recommend this anthology of black cat tales!" - Uncomfortably Dark"Powerful. A must-read. I'll never pass a black cat without due reverence again.Nothing is sacred and no one is safe in these pages. With grotesque and haunting imagery, the ever-elusive textual jump scare, and screams that seem to leap from the page, the stories in Black Cat Tales not only confront in-depth themes like grief, mental illness, and domestic violence, but the narratives also give these maligned creatures their voices and quite often their justice. Take my advice...get a copy of this book!" - Tamika Thompson, author of Unshod, Cackling, and Naked
