A Horror Book Review by Joe Ortlieb

Very rarely do I find a book that sticks with me. Yeah I've read a lot that I enjoy greatly. Yet very few move me.

To wallow in ash is a collection of stories that Sam Richard wrote after his wife passed away.

The words written on the pages are filled with so much emotion. You can feel the heartbreak and loneliness. They make you want to hold your loved ones close and tell them you love them, because you never know when you might not be able to do that again.

Yes they are horror stories but they are so much more then that. Sam Richard poured his heart and soul into them. Which you can tell.

If you're looking for something that you won't forget anytime soon then this is differently the book for you.

Just be warned tears may run.

To Wallow in Ash & Other Sorrows
by Sam Richard

Winner of the 2019 Wonderland Award for Best Collection, To Wallow in Ash & Other Sorrows is a bleak and unflinching look at widowhood through the lens of horror fiction. Written in the early days of widowhood and in the spirit of J.G. Ballard, Kathe Koja, and Georges Bataille, these stories are a cross-section of literary splatterpunk, transgressive fiction, and weird horror, which explore loss, grief, and the alluring comforts found within the heart of oblivion.

This Revised & Expanded version includes the never-before-seen novelette There is Power in the Blood.
