A vacationer finds himself suddenly alone in a tourist
city. A tabloid journalist makes a horrifying discovery about a famous
pop star. A woman joins an eating challenge reality show that turns
deadly. A vengeful ghost haunts a poem.
This is just a sample of what's on the menu in this serving of a dozen morsels of horror cooked up by the amazing mind of Ben Arzate.

"Arzate's America is much like ours, dangerous and twisted, except
there's something...off. If you think you can escape, it's too late.
Just try to stay on the beaten path. You'll make it. Probably." - John
Bruni, author of Tales of Questionable Taste
"Ben Arzate showcases his prowess in the Horror and Bizarro
genres with inventive-as-hell body horror, truly scary, slow-burn found
footage, and fun with form, like his text message account of the
apocalypse. His collection is bleak and lonely some places,
terrifying in others, with his signature dry, dark comedy showing up
exactly when needed.
Arzate is a trope-crusher. Anytime you think a story
might sound familiar, he tells us all why he’s the one to tell this
particular tale, and each time, he proves you haven’t read one quite
like this before. Feast your eyes on this one. It’s one wild-ass ride!" -
Lauren Bolger, author of The Barre Incidents
"The Dinner Show is a literary smorgasbord of Transgressive and
horrific stories. These stories show a wide range of Ben's talent. From
crafting Clive Barkerian nightmares to haunting pieces that drag at your
soul. Reading this collection is like stepping into a world parallel to
ours; one that's covered in a grimy film, distorted by a layer of
static.
Ben Arzate writes the kind of stories I love to read; strange, atmospheric, and fantastic!" - Matthew Vaughn, author of Bowery
