Novelist and screenwriter Harry Shannon's collection "Bad Seed" was a beginners mixture of short horror and crime stories, all published online in 2000-2001. Despite numerous production flaws, the small-press limited edition became a collectors item. The author admits, "Eight novels and dozens of short stories later, some of these pieces look pretty awkward. I was sorely tempted to rewrite a few of them. But in today's world of indie publishing, I just figured it also might be interesting for people to see these first efforts." This version has been properly proofed and re-formatted, and is not to be confused with a short story with the same title. It is a full-length work.

"Master craftsmanship."
-Cemetery Dance

"Shannon is a writer who is never afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light."
-Brian Keene

"Harry Shannon takes age-old themes and gives them a new and fearsome bite. Vividly realized, his writing is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights."
- Tom Piccirilli

Bad Seed eBook Harry Shannon

The information and other reviewers led me to believe that this was a collection of stories. That's not true. It is ONE VERY short story.

However, I'm not letting that affect my review.

The story itself was rather predictable. Just a classic story of revenge, no twist, no mystery, ho-hum.

However, the writing was top-notch! I will be checking out this author's other works. Should he come up with a good plot, I am certain his books will be awesome!

Bad Seed eBook Harry Shannon Reviews


He's hot, he's smokin', and he's spinning tales of bad luck and trouble. Shannon's metaphoric gun is right on target in "Bad Seed." The tough, sharp prose, gripping story lines and stylish finesse are signatures of Shannon at his best. No concealed weapons in this read - Harry lets you have it full bore. If you're ready for deadly, dazzling and dangerous, Shannon's your man.
Great reading! Every story goes straight for the gut, packs a hard punch and leaves you spinning. Cool mixture of Stephen King-like eeriness and horror, with a sense of humor reminiscent of Elmore Leonard. I bet there's lots more where this came from. A word of warning though not for the easily spooked!
"Bad Seed" is a delicious collection of wonderfully creepy stories. Harry Shannon has created a fresh approach to the horror story - he has successfully blended it with elements of the noir genre, endowing each of these tales with the added ingredients of both realism and relevance. I can't wait to read more from this author.
Horror isn't really my cup of tea, but a friend who knows the author persuaded me to read a few sections from this book. I had nightmares on and off for weeks. Two stories in particular, "Road Kill" and "Them bones", really disturbed me. Since that is obviously what the author intended, I'll give him five stars for having succeeded.
Your heart beats hard, your mind spins, and you are out of control until the very last story. Harry Shannon weaves his magic combining writing genres into tales that stick with long after you finished reading them. The scenes are as vivid as they are brutal; a sharp and dark look into trouble minds and troubled pasts. The deeper you go, the further you read, the more you are sucked into the simmering pit full of Bad Seeds.
Harry Shannon is a storyteller and each of these thirteen stories will make you think. The book should come with a warning “Don’t try this at home, these are professional killers, thugs, and the insane. Just lock your doors, especially at night, and pray the sun will come up … quick.”
Well worth the read. A hair-raising, heart-thumping romp from the dark mind of a rising star. If you haven’t read Bad Seed … you are missing a great book.

Harry Shannon's "Bad Seed" packs the most punch you could ever hope for out of any collection of short stories, with plenty of gruesome detail and nasty characters to boot. Some of the tales are reminiscent of Stephen King, while others are in the vein of Elmore Leonard. Shannon quickly and adeptly develops his characters, moving each plot along at a heart-stopping pace, often taking hairpin turns to a shocking and unpredictble climax. The narration works well in that it often makes you feel as though you're at a campfire, in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps in a bar, hearing the nastiest yet most compelling stories from some strange local barfly. This makes for an eerie feeling all throughout the book. All-in-all, "Bad Seed" is a more-than-thoroughly satisfying collection that never fails to deliver in its content. But be careful you could have nightmares after reading this! (i.e. Don't read right before going to sleep!)
