Michaels treads the dangerous ground between real passion and dangerous obsession. A wonderfully twisted tale of undying love, true evil and zombies."- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of ASSASSIN'S CODE and FLESH & BONE"If you liked the coal-smeared hell that was Pollock's Devil All the Time, or the high octane horror of Brian Keene, or Lansdale when he's got all his razors out, then I have got a surprise for you. With REVIVAL HOUSE, S.S. Michaels has penned a nightmare-infused blood letting that left me awe struck from the very first page. I don't scare easily, but this book was an all out assault on the senses. A first rate book. S.S. Michaels was my big find of the year, and I can't wait to see what comes next!"- Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of FLESH EATERS and INHERITANCE"SHORT BUS HERO has it all: Down syndrome, hoarding, suicide attempts, heart attacks, betrayal, redemption, angels, winning lottery numbers, and big time professional wrestling. A dark, sweet, and poignant tale about what happens when you follow your dreams."-- S. G. Browne, author of BREATHERS, BIG EGOS, and FATED"If you were the big Lottery winner, what would you do first? Why, resurrect the career of your favorite professional wrestler, of course. Touching, violent, hilarious, tragic and surreal--Short Bus Hero is an inspiring and emotional story."-- Richard Thomas, author of STARING INTO THE ABYSS, co-editor of BURNT TONGUES"From a mind-bending cornucopia of eclectic ingredients--troubled lottery winners, pro wrestlers on the skids, and restless angels are just the tip of the iceberg--Shannon Giglio has expertly crafted one of the strangest, cleverest, and, yes, sweetest, tales I have ever read. This wonderful novel has it all: ingeniously imagined characters, rousing and poignant adventures, and, perhaps most importantly, the true heart of a champion. Anyone who enjoys great storytelling will love this book."-- Bill Breedlove, author of HOW TO DIE WELL
