Cotton Candy

What was the Victorian's obsession with capturing images of their dead in ferrotype (tin) photographs? Was there a darker, perhaps more sinister, now hidden facet to this former prim and proper society? Bill Moorefield answers these questions and more in "TIN TALES," a compilation of Gothic tales of the macabre.

When fancying Victorian styles and customs celebrated throughout this title, each chapter features an image, which provides a glimpse into the era's menacing past; its secrets are immortalized on the curiously rousing thin sheets of iron. Mesmerizing joys, ecstasies, mêlées, afflictions and eccentricities are skillfully portrayed in Moorefield's ten Gothic tales of the macabre.

"TIN TALES" is absolutely riveting . . . prepare to be spellbound. ~National Writing Examiner.

The author's style reminds the reader of Poe. The characters are well developed, particularly for short stories, and there is just enough of the macabre to give you a shiver as you finish each story. An enjoyable read! ~Jeffrey G. McNeill.
