His touch brought nothing but fire and destruction, her touch nothing but uncaring cold. As the blizzard rages and the city erupts in flame, only the touch of another can douse the flames and melt the ice.]]> Sun, 13 Nov 2016 21:15:28 +0200 Guises https://library.land/charlee-jacob/134608-guises.html https://library.land/charlee-jacob/134608-guises.html Guises
GUISES is a masterful example of Charlee Jacob’s beautifully brutal and grotesque style of dark fiction. Jacob explores endless variations of the masks — literal and figurative that hide human frailties and reveal the true nature of the wearer. She handles it deftly, disturbingly, never more than a twist of phrase from another excursion into her peculiar take on sex at its most repulsive.]]> Sat, 12 Nov 2011 10:25:11 +0200 Containment: The Death of Earth https://library.land/charlee-jacob/128665-containment_the_death_of_earth.html https://library.land/charlee-jacob/128665-containment_the_death_of_earth.html Containment: The Death of Earth
The phantoms of each man, woman, and child who ever perished from disease now walk among the living. Containment is a novel of world-wide devastation and the race to save mankind. Bram Stoker Award winner Charlee Jacob delivers a beautifully gruesome picture of an apocalyptic nightmare. A pure masterpiece of modern horror fiction.]]> Wed, 12 Nov 1997 08:31:07 +0200 Dread in the Beast https://library.land/charlee-jacob/132398-dread_in_the_beast.html https://library.land/charlee-jacob/132398-dread_in_the_beast.html Dread in the Beast
DREAD IN THE BEAST used to be a novella about the goddess of waste and the king of wasters. Now it is a novel, stuffed full of the gruesome and horrible. Taken from the mythologies and histories of humankind, it follows the trail of the Mother Spririt of the worst that the world is capable of producing. From the catacombs of ancient Rome where a blasphemous sect twisted the message of the early Christians--to modern America with its obsession with violence, deities and saints and the reincarnations of beasts battle over sublime and profane, where the very reasons for existence for us all may lie in the unthinkable. Edward Lee (author of CITY INFERNAL, MONSTROSITY, INCUBI, and SUCCUBI) says in his introduction to this new novel-length version, "What's most unique of all here (and jealously fascinating) are the creative guts of the author. If there's an ultimate dichotomy in the horror genre, it's got to be Jacob...armed with a talent to write the most beautiful prose yet using that talent to examine the most unspeakable and detestable horror. ...It's one of my all time favorite novels in the field." **

There is an old myth that says if one dreams of falling and goes all the way to the sudden end, this one will never wake up. For writer Charlee Jacob that form of dream death never came. She'd strike rocks and get up again. However, in other nightmares she's died almost every conceivable (and inconceivable) way, including being murdered. A child of relentless bullying, family violence, and stonings in the street...wife of starvation, psychological degredation, and abandonment, she put her fury and pain into writing. Her horrific fiction is extreme, often as lyrical as it is monstrous. Having written for nearly twenty years, illness completely disabled her. Later, a different diagnosis and maximum doses of her medications, she's written her first book in eight years. 'The Myth Of Falling' is a collection of frequently gruesome fiction, cruelty, sexual deviance, and essays of living with horror. She's fallen, hit bottom, and got up again.
