Dark Delicacies owner and horror author Del Howison talks about his new short story collection, What Fresh Hell is This?, and about the legacy of the world renowned Dark Delicacies horror bookstore on the eve of closing the physical store in Los Angeles.

This collection is a retrospective of fiction he’s published throughout the years but have never been collected in one volume (let’s hope there’s a Volume 2 in planning).

If you’re in the Los Angeles area, the final signing at Dark Delicacies will be March 22 at 3pm PT, where Del will be signing What Fresh Hell is This?. The bookstore’s last day will be April 5. But if you’re running a horror convention and you think Del might be a great panelist, he’s going to be available soon.
