If you’ve been paying attention to the Horror genre the last couple of years, the name Mercedes Murdock Yardley has likely come to your attention. There are few Horror authors these days who have the talent in the arena of short fiction like Yardley does, and this was made absolutely clear with her winning of the Bram Stoker Award for her novelette, Little Dead Red.
​
We simply couldn’t resist publishing a collection of Yardley’s short fiction, and we knew we had to include her Bram Stoker winning story, Little Red Dead. This collection will, for the first time, collect her best stories for her fans, and for connoisseurs of short, horror fiction. We couldn’t be more excited to produce this Limited Edition.
About the Book
Mercedes Murdock Yardley is known to some as Miss Murder. Known as one of the top new voices in Horror, Yardley recently won the Bram Stoker Award for her novelette Little Dead Red – it quickly became one of our favorite pieces of short, Horror fiction. The story, a gut-punch, modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, is as incredible as it is dark.

​Vault Books is extremely pleased to publish a limited edition printing of the Bram Stoker winning story, Little Dead Red along with selected other short stories and essays. Little Dead Red & Other Stories will be an exclusive printing of this collection unavailable anywhere else, and will showcase Yardley’s ability to terrify us with short stories, flash-fiction, and of course, her award winning novelette.
