Description
A black cat approaches, do you let it cross your path, or run in the opposite direction? From the superstitious to the unlucky, from a witch's familiar to a soul stealing grave robber, black cats have captured our imagination and remain solidly in the realm of the dark. Join a diverse clowder of established and emerging authors from around the world for never before published horror, dark fantasy and mystery short stories and poems featuring the beloved, feared and mystical black cat."Highly recommend" - Cemetery Dance"A purrfect book to spend an afternoon with!" - Brigids Gate Press, LLC.

Critical Reviews
"This anthology is perfect for cat lovers, because even in the stories they might not personally connect with, they will recognize those weird, furry creatures we share our lives with. Highly recommended." - Cemetery Dance"Francesca and Mark have assembled a spellbinding anthology of black cats, including scary felines, miraculous kittens, and cats who traverse space and time. A purrfect book to spend an afternoon with!" -S.D. and Heather Vassallo, founders of Brigids Gate Press, LLC. "There's something for everyone: a vengeful ghost; a cat that dislikes a newly adopted stray; a cat that saves the victim of domestic abuse; a tiny kitten that brings its owners larger and larger dispatched prey; an irritating neighbor and his cat-are they what they seem? 5 out of 5 Crows" - Horror Tree "If there's anything that even comes close to capturing just how mysterious and multifaceted these regal creatures are, it's this collection." -Tasha Reynolds, co-founder of The Sinister Scoop"Put an anthology of black cat tales in front of a horror fan, and it's like setting out a bowl of milk for your favorite feline. I couldn't stop lapping it up!" -Dianna Sinovic, author of Scream of the Silent Sun"Each story and poem has something to offer the reader and I highly recommend this anthology of black cat tales!" - Uncomfortably Dark"Powerful. A must-read. I'll never pass a black cat without due reverence again.Nothing is sacred and no one is safe in these pages. With grotesque and haunting imagery, the ever-elusive textual jump scare, and screams that seem to leap from the page, the stories in Black Cat Tales not only confront in-depth themes like grief, mental illness, and domestic violence, but the narratives also give these maligned creatures their voices and quite often their justice. Take my advice...get a copy of this book!" - Tamika Thompson, author of Unshod, Cackling, and Naked
