After being out of print for ten years, "The Language Of Fear", a short story collection by Del James, is now available once again as a Dell paperback by print on demand. One of the top-ten most sought after horror/sci-fi titles, "The Language Of Fear", featuring an introduction by GUNS N' ROSES frontman W. Axl Rose, the book contains fifteen terrifying tales that run the gamut from a married man about to murder his wife on the command of a dial-a-porn hooker, to outlaw zombie bikers, to a stoned teenager locked in a savage war with his television set. "The Language Of Fear" also features the short story "Without You" which was the inspiration for the GUNS N' ROSES video "November Rain".
About the author: Del James is a meat-eating, pro-choice, sober, atheist. He writes horror fiction, screenplays, and music. As a lyricist, James has co-written songs with groups such as TESTAMENT, THE ALMIGHTY, THE OUTPATIENTS and GUNS N' ROSES, including two songs on GNR's Grammy-nominated "Use Your Illusion" album. James has directed several music videos and written live television for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is currently finishing his first novel, "A Celebration of Pain". He likes to ignore his acquired wisdom and do things against his better judgment. When he's not touring the world, James lives in Southern California. Visit him on the web at www.languageoffear.com.
