San Diego Stories is out!

Get it here or contact me for a signed copy

The tales in Francois Bereaud's San Diego Stories are fast, dark, and gritty, sure, but also touching and wildly entertaining. Short fiction should punch, and there's plenty of punching here. Great openings and tight dialogue, too. This is a hell of a debut, and Bereaud is one to watch. 

-Gabino Iglesias, award winning author of The Devil Takes You Home and House of Bone and Rain, New York Times horror columnist.
