Apex publishing R. Thomas Riley horror collection

Apex Book Company is now taking preorders for R. Thomas Riley's horror collection The Monster Within Idea. Publisher Jason Sizemore writes that the book "is a collection that contains nineteen stories from the dark mind of horror writer R. Thomas Riley. Riley's work has been compared to horror legends Richard Laymon and Dean Koontz. In our experiences, it is the way Riley instills a deep sense of humanity into his characters that makes his style of writing horror so empathetic and powerful. Those of you who have read the Apex anthology Gratia Placenti will be familiar with this very writing trait in the story 'Only Spirits Cry' (also included in The Monster Within Idea)."

The 212-page book is being offered for $15.95, with a cover by Justin Stewart.

Previously, Riley's work has appearead in Post Mortem, Dark Funeral, Nocturnal Ooze, and some anthologies.
