In JIMMY, he made you root for a teenage serial killer; in TEXT MESSAGE, he trapped you in a snowbound mall and asked how far you would go to save someone you love; and in NIKKI’S SECRET, he showed you what could happen when an unstable individual has their heartstrings teased to the breaking point. Now, in SCRAPING THE BONE: TEN DARK TALES, William Malmborg wants to show you worlds where everyday decisions can lead to unimaginable nightmares, good intentions can have torturous consequences, and digging into the locked-away parts of the mind can uncover horrors that are best left buried. So, don’t resist, take his hand, hold it tight, and embrace the journey into the darkest, most disturbing areas of humanity. William Malmborg is the author of five novels, JIMMY, TEXT MESSAGE, NIKKI'S SECRET, DARK HARVEST, and BLIND EYE, as well as the short story collection SCRAPING THE BONE: TEN DARK TALES. Future works will include SANTA TOOK THEM and A TASTE OF PAIN, as well as an episode in the LINGER series published by Braun Haus Media under the pseudonym Edward Fallon. When not writing, William spends time reading, doing puzzles, planting peach trees and looking for ghosts in the 100-year-old farmhouse in Elgin, IL where he lives with his brother Tom and their two cats Toby and Truman.
