"""Step into the ring with Alan Baxter, I dare you. He writes with the grace, precision, and swift brutality of a prizefighter. Served Cold is a stellar showcase for his talents. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading him yet, start here!"" -- Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and The Pandora Room ""In Served Cold Alan Baxter shows off his impressive versatility and range with a host of stories that mix old school terrors with very now concerns. At turns creepy and visceral, Baxter delivers the horror goods."" -- Paul Tremblay, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World ""Served Cold is a powerful collection of Alan Baxter's writing at its best. These stories never shy from the darkness or the weird and yet are, at their core, deeply human. As readers, we identify with his characters even--or maybe especially--when we would rather not. Be it twisted desires or impossible choices, the harshest of consequences or the depths of despair, in these stories Baxter shines a light into the darker corners of what it means to be human."" -- Joanne Anderton, award-winning author of The Bone Chime Song & Other Stories ""Alan Baxter's Served Cold is a feast for readers, who will push back from the table wanting more!"" -- John F.D. Taff, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Fearing and The End in All Beginnings"
