The Signal Block by Frank Duffy



News From SIDESHOW PRESS:
The Signal Block and Other Tales - Frank Duffy 


SIDESHOW PRESS is proud to present THE SIGNAL BLOCK AND OTHER TALES by Frank Duffy.  This collection showcases the talent of a truly literate and talented author who is adept at conjuring horrors out of everyday life and rendering seemingly innocuous settings foreboding and threatening through a deft use of atmosphere and description.

In this collection…
…A photographer researching deserted prisons discovers one small town’s terrifying secret…
…A recently promoted executive leads a team-building retreat at the same seaside resort his mother took her life at…
…Warsaw’s last gas lamp attendant learns that the intrusive harshness of the new electric lamps can reveal horrors better left in the shadows…
