We offer for your reading pleasure:
Echoans by L.T. Ward: Never threaten a creature who is unable to defend itself. You never know who keeps an ear out for them. Should you make this unfortunate mistake, you best remember for their protectors will be coming for you.
Nightheart by Fay Lane: Life hasn't been just unkind, but cruel to Morgan. Then the nighttime calls to her, an irresistible siren song into the darkness. There, she learns it's not her childhood horrors she needs to fear; it is they who need to fear her.
Small by Alexis L. Carroll: Struggling with the loss of his grandfather, Mikael visits a mysterious carnival. A night of wonders, hot dogs, and strange oddities just might leave Mikael changed forever when he makes a wish he can’t take back with a mischievous fortune teller.
Forgotten by Helen Whistberry: We all wonder what really happens to all of those deeply cared for toys when their children are gone. How long do love and control really last… And which is stronger?
Pestilence by Stefanie Contreras: Día de los Muertos is supposed to be a celebration of life, but Soledad and her brothers want revenge. They’ve always known their fate tangled with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...they just never knew how soon that fate would be revealed.
The Legend of Grey Hollow by Jeff Ehrmann: When two vagabonds discover an ancient amulet, a creature of folklore returns to haunt a community harboring a dark secret. Ed and Gillian must discover how to escape the evil of the cursed talisman before everything in their wake becomes ruins.
Caged Hunger by Jaecyn Boné: Life isn’t exactly sunshine and roses for Sage but it was definitely a lot less stressful before they had to lock up that thing in their basement a couple weeks ago. With their favorite holiday coming up, all they want is to have a fun night with their mom and their girlfriend, not deal with the literal nightmare downstairs.
The Soul of a Bat by Frank L Tybush V: Vic’s new place seems great, but the once-theatre revamped into upscale apartments comes with a special resident who is insistent on meeting the new tenant. Vic only hopes that solving a sinister secret will be enough to save their life and sanity.
An Unexpected Talent by Eileen Curley Hammond: Miranda had a bad day that she thought couldn't get a lot worse. And that was before she stumbled over the dead body. Now she's in the middle of a Halloween murderer hunt and failing to uncover the perpetrator will mean the end of the world.
Weddings and changelings, carnivals and hauntings… creepy creatures, and murderous intent all meet in this cozy horror anthology.
