Things That Never Happened<\/em>, published by Cemetery Dance, caused a Publishers Weekly<\/a> reviewer to state: “His talent is undeniable.” I hope after you read the 13 stories contained in its pages — four of which were Bram Stoker Award nominees — you’ll feel the same way.<\/p>\n

Over at the Readers Advisory Guide to Horror<\/a>, Becky Spratford wrote of me and the collection: “His stories are ALWAYS inventive, original, and compelling. I have never read an Edelman story that did not engage me emotionally, and that is the entire point of horror.”<\/p>\n

Don D’Ammassa wrote<\/a>: “A new collection of Edelman shorts is always a treat, and this might be my favorite group of his assembled stories. … Edelman is one of those writers whose work seems much more impressive when read in batches rather than as isolated stories.”<\/p>\n

If you’d like to do as Don did, you can order the a copy directly from the publisher<\/a>, or from Amazon<\/a>, depending on your reading preferences.<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to learn more you can watch the book launch<\/a>, which was livestreamed on the day of its release, September 22, 2020. I interviewed Lynne Hansen about her cover design and Kaaron Warren interviewed me about the collection and my writing process. Join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
