Dark Blessings: The Collection

Dark Blessings is a collection of stories that takes the reader down paths only author John Paul Allen could imagine...Sinister notes from a secret neighbor...a soul gets a second chance...a road trip to hell...a child with an unusual appetite...death cries on an answering machine...a child's reluctant salvation...and a closet lover with deadly intentions...A look beyond reason and sanity and into the mind of madness.

What a wonderfully strange and unique writer. John Paul Allen is a significant find for me as a reader, and as a writer. I admire his work greatly.
Joe R. Lansdale

"John Paul Allen is a gifted author and one of my personal favourites. If you haven't tried him, now's the time."
John R. Little, The Memory Tree

"Allen writes with the precision of a brain surgeon--skilled, confident, and willing to risk your mind with his next move." --Scott Nicholson, Liquid Fear
