Things That Never Happened

Things That Never Happened, published by Cemetery Dance, caused a Publishers Weekly 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.

Over at the Readers Advisory Guide to Horror, 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.”

Don D’Ammassa wrote: “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.”

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

And if you’d like to learn more you can watch the book launch, 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!
