This book collects of 13 powerful tales by one of the most acclaimed writers in modern horror. These are unforgettable stories from the dark side of Hollywood and the razor’s edge between fantasy and reality, where truth is under contract to ambition, morality remains on the cutting-room floor and life and death are the ingredients of a plot from which no one can escape.
Originally published only in the U.K. and never reprinted, this is the rarest of Etchison’s collections. Borderlands Press is proud to present the first American publication of Fine Cuts, including a preface by the author, an introduction by Peter Atkins and expanded contents for this very special edition.
