Richard Gavin’s debut collection was one of Horror’s sleeper hits of 2004. The rapid sell-out of its entire print run resulted in Charnel Wine becoming a highly sought-after title among connoisseurs of weird fiction.

Dark Regions Press is proud to present Charnel Wine: Memento Mori Edition, which contains the original collection in its entirety as well as four previously unpublished tales, a new Introduction by the author, and cover art by renowned illustrator J.K. Potter. 

"Richard Gavin's writing serves as a testament that great masters once crafted great stories...and as evidence that they shall do so again."

--- Thomas Ligotti

“Gavin’s prose is a refined instrument capable of evoking whatever person, mood, or time period he chooses…”

--- Jim Rockhill in Dead Reckonings

"[Gavin's] voice blends hints of Arthur Machen, M.R. James and H.P. Lovecraft, yet updates all three of them ably into the 21st century…he’s fond of declarative statements which sound normal on first reading, then twist into something dreadful and alien when you try to parse them

further."

--- Gemma Files

“There is writing here of dreams and darkness. Stories of nightmare blended with poetic eloquence.  Memories will linger from this book, like fears conjured from visits to the graveyard. ”

--- L.H. Maynard & M.P.N. Sims

“Richard Gavin pens tales of grimness and melancholy, of ghosts and things much darker than ghosts...He knows how to get under your skin and haunt you.”

--- Laird Barron

"Richard Gavin has the narrative strength and the imaginative power of a veteran."

--- Hellnotes
