Martin Mundt March Madness!

Dark Arts Books is proud to unveil the first e-book editions of two of the finest, funniest, feral books of fiction you will ever fall upon: Martin Mundt’s The Crawling Abattoir and The Dark Underbelly of Hymns!

Anyone who’s been a Dark Arts Books fan knows that Martin Mundt’s “A Perfect Plan” opened our very first collection back in 2006 — Candy in the Dumpster. So we’re pretty excited that we now have the rights to not one, but three of his short story collections (look at the covers below and do the math. Yes, there will be more Mundt news coming soon.)

Originally released as a chapbook in 1999 by Twilight Tales in Chicago, The Crawling Abattoir was expanded and reissued in 2004 with additional stories and a new cover by the incomparable Chad Savage. Four years later, Delirium Books issued Mundt’s 2nd collection, The Dark Underbelly of Hymns, in a limited 100-copy hardcover edition (and also featuring a Chad Savage cover!). Both books have inexplicably been out of print for several years…until now.

Don’t miss enjoying the stories which led Peter Straub to remark:

“Martin Mundt is a nasty, warped, zero-temperature so-and-so who can’t put two words together without first snickering, then slitting their throats. No wonder reading him is such a pleasure.” – Peter Straub
