Local Author Spotlight
Horror and Suspense

Thanks to local author Tony Tremblay, we have two new horror and suspense anthologies on our shelves, just in time for reading on dark winter nights!
Books from Tony Tremblay

Tony Tremblay's horror and crime stories have appeared in numerous anthologies with many of his stories set in Goffstown. You can find a sampling of these tales in his collection, The Seeds Of Nightmares, published by Crossroad Press. He has also contributed a novella to Triplicity - The Terror Project - Volume One, published by Books and Boos Press which contains his long fiction story titled Steel. Steel tells the tale of a group of young people coping with monsters and betrayal in a post-apocalyptic setting. In November of 2016, Tremblay had two additional stories published in the Dark Passages, and Painfreak anthologies.

Tremblay has worked as a non-fiction writer publishing pieces in Cemetery Dance Magazine, Beware The Dark Magazine, and at the Horror World website. He is also the host of the Goffstown cable television show, The Taco Society Presents, which airs on GTV and YouTube. The show focuses on horror writing and features local writers in various genres. Tony has lived in Goffstown, N.H. with his wife, Paula for over 40 years.
