Three celebrated books - all of which harbour a twisted ambition to physically alter your imagination - together for the first time. The Hellmouths of Bewdley is a series of 16 stories hiding in a novel about a small town in Ontario's cottage country. Pontypool Changes Everything is the terrifying story of a devastating virus. In Caesarea, everybody's embarrassed and nobody is mentioning the mess. Caesarea, you see, is the town that can't get to sleep at night. The Bewdley Mayhem combines these three classic horror tales, each of which has its own twisted humour.
Together for the first time, the complete Bewdley trilogy will alter your imagination as it details the strange, dark happenings in a rural Ontario town.
The Hellmouths of Bewdleyis a series of 16 stories hiding in a novel about a small town in Ontario's cottage country. Navigating through drunk and dead men, prisons and suicides and mad doctors, these short stories act as a halfway house for literary delinquents.
Pontypool Changes Everythingis the terrifying story of a devastating virus. Caught through conversation, once it has you, it leads you into another world where the undead chase you down the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities.
In
Caesarea, everybody's embarrassed and nobody is mentioning the mess. Caesarea, you see, is the town that can't get to sleep at night. Only Burgess demands answers to the really big question: Who's been sleeping in your bed?
With a preface by Jonathan Ball.
Praise for
Tony Burgess
"These stories are universally dark and not for the timid or prudish. A subtle horror invades the fine writing; intimate biological details of violent death are revealed in a manner that suggests Stephen King having a confidential chat with Hieronymus Bosch in the north woods. What Burgess reveals is that the dark edges of humanity we stereotypically equate with the urban are present and even more threatening in areas with no 911 service." -Quill & Quire on
The Hellmouths of Bewdley
"
Pontypool Changes Everythingmay be one of the most genuinely horrifying horror novels-as opposed to simply discomforting, sickening or terrifying, although it is all of these as well-that I have ever read." -Horrorscope
