“Undeniably talented, Michael Patrick Hicks shows evidence of a rather deliciously depraved mind." (SciFi & Scary)

With In the End, Nothing, Michael Patrick Hicks has brought together a number of dark, strange and moving short stories, collected here for the first time.

Join six guests for a remarkably disturbing twelve-course meal. Venture into the far reaches of space where, aboard an abandoned mining station, a team of scientists make a surprising discovery about the origin of life. Watch as a contestant competes for money on a gameshow unlike anything currently on-air, one where the biggest celebrity is death itself.

Featuring two brand-new stories exclusive to this collection, In the End, Nothing crosses the genres of horror and speculative fiction, and pushes the boundaries between life and death in unsettling, provocative, and occasionally gruesome, ways.

“Readers quickly discover that this is a writer that doesn’t hold back.” (The Ghastly Grimoire)

Night Of The Demons meets Olympus Has Fallen in this novel of White House horror from “one of the supreme rulers of delivering unsettling, gore-filled bursts of violence” (Steve Stred, author of Ritual).

After succumbing to a deadly virus and incurring the wrath of voters in the 2020 election, the president of the United States makes a deathbed deal with the devil.

Imbued with supernatural power, President Tyler Coleridge refuses to surrender office after being defeated by his rival candidate and rings in the new year with a White House bloodbath.

After Coleridge turns against the press and his own Secret Service detail in a violent display of savagery, it’s up to the lone survivor of the president’s protective detail, Mike Hutchinson, to put a stop to Coleridge’s reign of madness before the nation is utterly crippled.

Inspired by the events of 2020, Friday Night Massacre is a splatterpunk horror action novel in the grindhouse fashion, with a dash of comic book sensibility.

Friday Night Massacre contains graphic content that may be upsetting to some and is recommended for readers of extreme horror.

PRAISE FOR THE SALEM HAWLEY SERIES

"This historical, cosmic fiction series could be Hicks' tour de force."
- SCREAM Magazine
"Salem has taken the crown as my favorite new horror hero. Compelling characters, a unique setting, mythology building, shocking horror--this series is the real deal for readers who want to be thrilled and terrified."
- Cullen Bunn, author of Harrow County, Bone Parish, The Sixth Gun
"With echoes of LaValle's The Ballad of Black Tom, Michael Patrick Hicks's The Resurrectionists conjures a unique and horrifying vision from the void beyond."
- Todd Keisling, author of The Final Reconciliation and Ugly Little Things
"The Resurrectionists is a stunning achievement ─ an effective historical novel AND a brutal horror story. Salem Hawley is a fantastic protagonist I look forward to following in future stories."
- John Hornor Jacobs, author of The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky: A Novella of Cosmic Horror
Gritty, grand and grotesque, The Resurrectionists is a mind-bending, Lovecraftian myth set in the murky underbelly of post-Revolutionary War Manhattan. It played out in my imagination in a palette of reds and browns like a lush Hammer horror film. Salem Hawley is a riveting avenger, and I'm eager to follow him on further macabre adventures."
- Chris Sorensen, author of The Nightmare Room
Description g"Grim, perverse, and written with literary panache, The Resurrectionists sets the bar high for modern authors of Lovecraftian horror."
- Glen Krisch, author of Where Darkness Dwellsoes here
"A deliciously evil blend of Lovecraft, Martyrs, Frankenstein and Grand-Guignol madness. The concept is bonkers and the gore is unrelenting and off the wall."
- Hunter Shea, author of Antarctic Ice Beasts
“The pace is intense, the cosmic horror delivers, and Hawley takes his place as a hero to root for. As long as you're well out of reach of what's coming for him..."
- Laurel Hightower, author of Whispers in the Dark
