This weekend we’re spotlighting a horror short story collection published by Apex Publications. Yesterday we checked out a horror anthology by Apex called Dark Faith.
Taste of Tenderloin by Gene O’Neill is a horror short story collection which share a common location — San Francisco’s Tenderloin District — either centrally or peripherally in the story.
Why the Tenderloin District? Gavin O’Neil, Gene’s son, throws some light on that question in his “Introduction”, must reading for the collection.

Winner of the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Collection Eight stories of dark science fiction and fantasy weave a path through the underbelly of San Francisco’s most notorious district in Taste of Tenderloin by Gene O’Neill. Best known for his strong sense of place and uniquely vibrant characters, O’Neill brings the gritty underside of the city to life with eight interwoven stories of broken lives, missed dreams, and all that can go wrong with both reality and fantasy among the down and out. The city itself opens wide to swallow all comers with the temptation of its secrets and sins, while O’Neill brings dignity and humanity to a set of characters often overlooked in both society and fiction.
