'Caustic, classic, classy, nasty, elegant, relevant post-punk horror for people who give a shit.' 

--China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station, The Scar, Iron Council, and others.

"DANGEROUS RED is purely and simply one of the five best horror collections I've ever read in my fuckin' life." 

--Edward Lee, author of City Infernal, The Bighead, Incubi, and others.

"DANGEROUS RED is, quite simply, the best collection I've read this year.
The stories are disturbing, visceral, and emotionally brutal. Wilson's prose
is is filled with dark beauty and it got to me on a very personal level. A
pleasure to read. I urge you to try this!"

--Brian Keene--Author of City of the Dead, Terminal, and The Rising

 
"Mehitobel Wilson is, in fact, the Real Deal, and reading her prose is like getting a red hot wire raked across your tenderest flesh. It's that good...this collection is a must-read for people interested in literary horror."   --Fangoria Magazine

Mehitobel Wilson has been publishing horror fiction since 1999. She is a Bram Stoker Award nominee, and many of her stories have been granted Honorable Mentions in the Year's Best Fantasy and Horror series. If you can't pronounce her name, call her "Bel." 

Bel's been a dog groomer, an industrial painter, a runway model, a belt worker in a factory, a cigarette girl at a movie theater, an audio/visual technician, a Latin tutor, and a waitress, among other things. She's lived in the backwoods and on the streets. Now she lives in the Deep South, prefers Jack Daniels and Marlboro lights, and rights wrongs under cover of darkness. She'd write more fiction if her hands were less sore from bouts of Tekken 5. 

Dangerous Red is Mehitobel's first collection of short fiction. The stories included have appeared in a range of genre publications. Three stories are original to this collection.
