SLEEP DISORDER, by Jack Ketchum & Edward Lee
[publisher blurb If ever two authors were ideally suited for one another, it’s Ketchum and Lee. The five stories and two original versions (one by Ketchum and one by Lee) that make up SLEEP DISORDER prove how well they work together. The title story is newly penned by the duo and was written expressly for this collection.
[Drafted by one, finished by the other - a collection of amazing stories --HorrorWeb insert You can first read the collaborations, and then take a look at the two original stories (one from each author) written before the collaboration. It's truly a unique glimpse at how these two authors blend their tremendous talents.

[HorrorWench's thoughts Tremendous talent is not even a strong enough word for what has been trapped within these pages... Ketchum's visceral visions combined with Lee's love of the truly twisted make for a wicked trip down some very unnerving paths.
Sharp concise writing, no frills in your face pacing, and characters that you love or love to hate... This collaborative collection is an amazing thrill ride that was over much too soon. If you are a fan of either of these writer's it's a must have - if for nothing else than to see how well they work with another writer - that is just as twisted as they are!

And what else are the 'boys' up to? Well...

JACK KETCHUM
Peaceable Kingdom
[publisher This landmark collection gathers more than thirty of Jack Ketchum's most thrilling stories. "Gone" and "The Box" were honored with the prestigious Bram Stoker Award. Whether you are already familiar with Ketchum's unique brand of suspense or are experiencing it for the first time, here is a book no aficionado of fear can do without.
[Horror-Web Writing on the edge of reality, Ketchum empowers his readers with the gift of 'what if' and you tend to leave his works with furrowed brow and fearful contemplation. From a mother's dilemma to a western setting, he has the ability to put horror into any normal situation and remove your securities.
...and just when you thought it safe to pigeonhole him as a genre writer...
The Transformed Mouse: A Fable
That's right, a fable! One for adults - adapted from the Indian 2nd Century A.D. Panchatantra. And unless you're afraid of the element, or of mice, there's nary a scare in it, just good wacky fun! From http://www.bitingdogpress.com

EDWARD LEE
Infernal Angel
[publisher A CITY... IN HELL That's what Hell is now, an endless metropolis spiring with black skyscrapers, raging in eternal horror. The moon is black and the sky is the color of blood. Screams rip down streets and through alleys, carried by malodorous winds. The people of this place trudge the sidewalks back and forth, to home, to work, to stores, etc., just as they do in any city. There's only one difference. In this city, the people are all dead. [Horror-Web Now THIS is a Hell worth exploring! Opening with a scene that grabs your bowels and twists them, Lee explores a new kind of Hell, a modern Hell, run by a mix of technology and sorcery and powered by money [much like Earth. Revolting imagery that would be over the top in straight fiction is not just acceptable, in Lee's Hell we realize we didn't even see the worst of it!
Coven
More like a revved-up gross-out ‘70s B-movie, COVEN revels in its ultimate editorial no-no: it’s science-fiction dropped into a contemporary horror plot, something that horror editors seem to never buy. Maybe this one sold...because it works. [This is the only existing novel that Lee wants to sequelize From http://www.necropublications.com
