Wayne Allen Sallee has been writing the pain, and writing through the pain for decades. His work has found its way onto the pages of hundreds of magazines, multiple volumes of "The Year's Best Horror," onto award ballots and into the dark recesses of readers minds. His work is raw. His stories draw vivid, stark images and even darker pieces from the back doors of the imagination.

From Chicago Horror author Wayne Allen Sallee comes this collection of stories, one a zombie story, told in the way only Sallee can, brutal, stark, filled with pain.
This is not a happy, feel-good message of American solidarity. This is a deeply thought out, painful journey through an author's mind and heart. We write stories that are meant to frighten people... when the Twin Towers fell, when 9/11 became a "thing" and not just another day on the calendar, all of those make-believe monsters lost their steam.
With Wounds Still Wet is a Bram Stoker Award-nominated collection of twenty-two stories from Chicago author Wayne Allen Sallee. Visceral, painful, often closing in on the too-personal, Sallee's fiction is a sharp jab of reality in a world of milk-toast angst and watered-down prose.
