Dark Regions Press is proud to announce a brand new collection by Allyson Bird, Wine and Rank Poison! We currently offer the book in our collectible leather-bound Deluxe Lettered edition and our 100 Signed and Numbered Edition! Allyson Bird's last collection won the British Fantasy Award and received six Honourable Mentions from editor Ellen Datlow! Every copy of Wine and Rank Poison includes an introduction and comes signed by legendary author Joe R. Lansdale!
Revenge. Best served cold. Here are ten stories involving most of the deadly sins: greed, lust, envy, wrath, and pride. Strange stories woven in time and place from Ancient Greece to 1929 Odessa, Italy to the modern United States...stories that mix reality, mythology, legend, half-humans and the inhuman...
With the skill of the Borgia, Allyson doles out vengeance in the strangest of places and circumstances.
Bull Running for Girls, Allyson Bird's debut collection, won the prestigious British Fantasy Society Award for Best Collection in 2009. Wine and Rank Poison consolidates her place in the weird fiction genre.

"Allyson Bird is a rare bird indeed. An original voice in a world of plain vanilla. She rides some dark waves with grace and heart full of light and shadow. If there's any justice, she on her way to real recognition." -- Joe R. Lansdale.
'Ally Bird's writing is as clean and crisp as a scalpel blade. Her stories have a firm sense of place and verisimilitude; it's as if we can see the locations she writes about through the eyes of a resident. It is also both refreshing and essential to see a female author embrace the dark side with such empathy and unflinching bravery.' -- Gary McMahon
'The stories are filled with great description, genuine characters, believable dialogue and intricate plots. If Allyson had chosen to call herself a writer of adult fiction rather than a horror writer, her name would now be known across the land. But well done to her for sticking to her principles. People need to realise there is horror in just about everything they read - from Cornwell to Murakami - and if they're struggling to do so, then starting with Allyson's book wouldn't be a bad idea.' -- Shaun Hamilton

About the author
Allyson Bird lives on the edge of the South Yorkshire moors in England, with her husband and young daughter. Occasionally she is drawn to strange places and people and they are occasionally drawn to her. Her favourite playground, as a child and adult, has been the village graveyard. Once she wondered what would happen if she took one of the green stones from a grave. She has been looking over her shoulder ever since but has never given it back.
