John McNee has this to say about the new release:
“For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of the Doom Cabaret, a place encapsulating everything that intrigues me about horror.
It is a world of dark theatrics, lurid oil paintings, grotesquely beautiful freak shows and weaponised sexuality. Its characters are artists, musicians, illusionists and gourmets, haunted by dangerous obsessions, dancing along the edge of a seductive abyss.
I'm so glad to be working with Sinister Horror Company, a press for which I have tremendous affection and respect. They're dedicated to providing readers with original, exciting, uncompromising tales of terror, which is what the Doom Cabaret is all about.”

John McNee’s Doom Cabaret blurb:
This is the stage. These are the players.
A young woman’s sexual appetites prove too powerful to be undone by death.
Hedonistic clubbers covet a drug that warps flesh rather than the mind.
A wealthy cannibal encounters a meal too beautiful to be eaten.
The Lullaby Man ushers another eager victim into his clockwork lair.
Here is where such stories are told.
Blood and beauty, defilement and deformity, musicians and monsters.
