I just received a note that Dr. Kim Paffenroth, Associate Professor of Religious Studies & Writer of Apocalyptic Zombie Horror, has a new story that due out in a Gothic horror/romance novella entitled Orpheus and the Pearl…


The teaser:

In 1920 Massachusetts, Catherine MacGuire journeys to the estate of Dr. Wallston, world-famous neurologist and notorious philanderer, to help him with a most unusual patient. The results are not what any of them expect, but bring them a deeper understanding of love, death, and forgiveness.


The blurb:

“With Orpheus and the Pearl, Kim Paffenroth has stepped up to the plate left vacant by the late Ray Russell and hit one out of the park. Every element one expects to find in a traditional ‘gothic’ tale is present, but shown from a parallax view, keeping the reader guessing and anxious all the way to its surprisingly moving finale.”

— Bram Stoker and International Horror Guild-Award winner, Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Mr. Hands and Coffin County
