Descriere Exploring Dark Short Fiction #7: A Primer to Gemma Files - Eric J. Guignard

\nNamed One of the genre's most original and innovative voices (L.A. Review of Books) and An expert at terrifying prose (LitReactor), Canadian author Gemma Files has been penning gritty and macabre fiction since 1993, earning industry awards and critical acclaim from sources such as National Public Radio, Publishers Weekly, and The National Post.
