BONE MARROW STEW
Collected Works
Volume One

by

Tim Curran


Come closer.
Together, we’ll climb this crooked stairway and slip through the crooked doorway at the top, enter a crooked room. We’ll leave the crawling black gutter ruin of the world behind us. Here, there is a glow beneath the blackened cauldron and here we may sup and chat, away from those maggot-white oblong faces that press up to the shuttered windows. I want to whisper something in your ear here in our little world lit only by fire and scented by hot marrow-fat and steaming gut. Ignore the creeping shadows and nightmare cosmic vistas opening up around us, they are but tales wanting to be told. Hear only my voice:

Many, many years ago when I was seven or eight years old I made something of an unconsciousness decision to dwell in the shadows of a half-lit world and there I have existed, happily, ever since. Before then I don’t think I had any true obsessions. I was sort of like a glob of unshaped clay waiting to be molded and pressed into something. Once the change had occurred and the cold clay was formed, the pulp of fear juiced from me, I no longer feared the shades that crept in the darkness or the spidery things that scuttled over moonlit rooftops or the shapeless horrors that oozed in the sunless, sewerlike spaces of dank cellars. I became one of them, you see. I lived in weed-clotted drainage ditches and hung bloated in dusty webs in high attic corners and swam in miasmic ponds. I met little girls who fed on souls and puppeteers who were more puppet than man. I crouched in night-black trenches while ghoulish things chattered their teeth and I sailed tall ships into graveyard seas. I met men with kaleidoscopic eyes and listened to the ravings of snakeoil salesmen as they vomited flies. I was there when the living dead swarmed the Paris Metro and grotesque little men crawled from the fens for their midnight offerings. I listened to the screams of innocents lost in the fog and the sucking sounds of men reduced to things less than men and, yes, I watched as eldritch, obscene things seduced children with promises of sweets. Fill yourself with the marrow and gut and blood of the stew as I lean closer and whisper into your ear of what I know and what I have seen and what, I think, you may never forget.

A delicious 460+ page release spanning Tim’s career from his very first professional sale, Reign of the Eater, to exclusive never before released stories, plus a full bowl of juicy tales in between.
Full wraparound artwork and extensive internal illustrations from Keith Minnion and introduced by Simon Clark, this collection is signed by all three contributors.

The moment I started reading the stories in this collection I just wanted to shout ‘WOW!’ Tim Curran’s work erupts so powerfully from the page. His vivid action zaps you in the eye. Then his words continue into the depths of your soul where they sow explosions of delight and wonder.
- Taken from Simon Clark’s intro, Welcome to the Feast.

I realize this up in another area of Horrorworld, but I thought I'd get my two cents in, too...

Tony, if you ordered that many copies I'm forever grateful. If not, I want you to say the title that many times without it sounding like BOMA-STREW.

Post subject:  Re: Bone Marrow Stew up for pre-order!
In response...I said it that many times. I wish I could afford that many copies.

Finally got it, and man, what a way to start a book! As one of the Horror World gang I want to say thanks for the nod. That was so cool!

You're more than welcome, Tony! Without you guys this book really wouldn't have happened.

This book is amazing. It just keeps getting better and better the deeper you get into it.

Post subject:  Re: Bone Marrow Stew up for pre-order!
It takes me a while to read short story books and I just finished this one tonight. Absolutely loved it Tim! And Black Betty made a wonderful coda! Hopefully, we'll see volume two soon.

And I would like to ask a question, how did you come up with the title?
