From hauntings and oblivion to monsters, murder, and anthropomorphism, A Graveside Gallery: Tales of Ghosts and Dark Matters, by award-winning author Eric J. Guignard, explores the literary odd and macabre that reside in the vast shadows of our existence.
• In “A Kingdom of Sugar Skulls and Marigolds,” a gay Hispanic teen in 1950s Los Angeles, mourning the loss of a friend, has a chance to make amends during Day of the Dead.
• In “Bummin’ to the Beat of the Road,” a Beat-era youth leaves home to travel the land, only to find madness, murder, and the teeth of a new generation.
• In “Perchance to Dream in Voices of a Fiend: A Fanciful Epilogue to Frankenstein,” an intimate epilogue is suggested to the famous novel Frankenstein, offering a more hopeful closure to characters’ lives.

… and sixteen masterful others.
