I just edited two classic anthologies - Middle Unearthed: The Best Fantasy Short Stories 1800-1849 along with Mesaerion: The Best Science Fiction Short Stories 1800-1849.

I am the author of "The Divine Dantes" trilogy that is a laugh-out-loud rock love story following the characters of "The Divine Comedy" in modern times.

I also penned the awarding book "Coffee with Poe: A Novel of Edgar Allan Poe's Life." The book brings America's most mysterious author and poet to life as never before. It was a finalist winner in the USA Best Book Awards. Visit my website for exclusive interviews and to buy my titles.

Best regards and Goodread(ing),
Andrew Barger

Thanks, Darren.

I am unfamiliar with Pugmire and there are those Barker movies Hellraiser movies. I like the Palahniuk stuff I have read. Here is a recent blog post I did on Fight Club:

List of Stories in Crypt Classics Best 19th Century Horror Stories Annotated

 


I'm happy to announce that my latest anthology:  Crypt Classics: Best 19th Century Horror Stories Annotated is published!  It contains shocking tales from the 19th century published in the English language, including those from popular American and Victorian authors. To my knowledge, this has never been done before. So how did this all come about?

In 2010 I was presented a horrific dare that I Read more of this blog post »

Thanks, Fred. I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, print books of DDII and DDIII were never launched, just the ebooks. If there is enough interest, I can twist the publisher's arm to make it happen.

Quotes by Andrew Barger  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“They say everything that can be written has been written. I say we are just getting started.”
Andrew Barger, Mailboxes - Mansions - Memphistopheles: A Collection of Dark Tales

“Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path. I shall be a litterateur, at least, all my life; nor would I abandon the hopes which still lead me on for all the gold in California.”

EDGAR ALLAN POE TO FREDERICK WILLIAM THOMAS
FEBRUARY 14, 1849”
Andrew Barger, Coffee With Poe

“The difficulty with Poe is not figuring out which of his stories rise to the level required of this collection, but rather which of his stories to exclude from it.”
Andrew Barger, The Best Horror Short Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Horror Anthology
