Looking to be creeped out? This page turner is exciting and explores the dark trenches of the human psyche. Check out this collection of dark fiction short stories that is sure make you lose sleep tonight.
A brilliant collection of short stories to get you addicted again to horror. Cross your fingers, let the dog sleep in the room, say a prayer before you go to sleep; you're not going to escape the excitement. Six's writing will have you living in his imagination for days afterwards.
Read this book of thirteen chilling stories during the day or when the lights are on. They aren't for the feint-hearted or squeamish. You'll see and feel these stories because of the Six's exceptional description. The damage paranoia causes, the breakdown of marriages and the hidden are among the subjects.
I love nothing better than a collection of short horror stories and this one delivers. It reminded me of the first time I read Stephen King's Skeleton Crew and had to bury it to feel safe afterwards.

Z-Minus 1 Perrin Briar
Once infected, the virus shuts down organs, kills nerve impulses and even reprograms the way we think. The virus becomes us.
But the process takes eight hours.
If you only had eight hours left to live, what would you do?
For Chris Smith, that decision has been made for him. He’s infected, and returns home to find the rest of his family undead or missing, save his youngest daughter Maisie. He’s never been much of a father, but can he make up for it now in the final few hours of his life and find somewhere safe for her to survive?

Captured By The Beast Daniella Wright
I was one of those people who could never sit still. I loved to go outside and do stuff. Living in the beautiful state of New Hampshire really helped. Once spring rolled around, I practically lived in the Amethyst State Park.
But can you blame me? The hiking path was beautiful.
Still, when female hikers started going missing from the path, I should have been a little wary. I should have listened to my best friend, Abby, who told me not to go alone.
Did I listen?
No.
Now, here I am trapped inside a dark cave. I have no idea where I am or what happened to me? Was I about to encounter some of the other women who had gone mission or was I about to face a similar fate.
Maybe this pungent smell has something to do with it…
Whatever it is, I had to get out of this alive.

Only The Dead Don't Die A.D. POPOVICH
Surviving the pandemic’s un-deadly aftermath is only the beginning!
It happens without warning. The CDC and lamestream media advise the public to get the new and improved vaccine. But it’s already too late. In a matter of days, the Super Summer flu brings mankind to its knees in the grisliest way possible.
A few survive: the unlucky ones, the immune, and those relishing a life of lawlessness. This story is about them. Experience the End Times through their eyes and face their fears as they struggle to outwit the evil holding Earth hostage.
If you’re in the mood for a chilling apocalyptic-adventure like The Stand meets The Walking Dead—this is the book for you!

In Only The Dead Don't Die, A.D. Popovich manages to combine cozy characterization with horror, like Hitchcock used to do, in addition to peppering her writing with dry humor and imaginative similes. A comfortable read for a story that develops organically and includes characters of all ages.
This was a fantastic read! One of those that stay with you for a while...and then a little bit longer. A must-read for lovers of the apocalypse!
Bone chilling cover, great idea for a story!
Great cover and setup! So excited to dive into this world.
A suspenseful story with an interesting main character. There are plenty of horror and thrills. Definitely worth the read!

Enchantress of Rurne Chris Turner
When a warrior monk discovers his master slain, he sets out to punish the perpetrators. On the way, he is forestalled by an unforeseen force . . . a seductive sorceress who has other plans for him, less trivial than revenge. Can the warrior outwit her charms? Does he have a choice?
Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.

If art can capture a soul, what happens when one of those souls escapes?
When Anita Cassatt is sent to catalogue the collection of a reclusive artist, it isn’t the atmosphere of the secluded house making her shiver, it's the silent audience of portraits on every wall, watching her.
The artist's lawyer didn’t share the detailed instructions regarding the handling of the art, and Anita starts work in ignorance of the instructions designed to keep her safe. Safe from the art.
Buy Painted now and you'll never look at the art on your walls the same way again.
A gothic horror perfect for lovers of Jonathan Janz and Lisa Tuttle.

Footsteps: Austerley & Kirkgordon Origins 1 G R Jordan
"I swear if I see Austerley again, I'll kill him myself. The man's a lunatic, and he wants putting down for the good of society - and his own good for that matter."
A retired protection operative, Kirkgordon's only mistake was to seek a little of the excitement his previous life had offered. Leaving his family behind, he joins Professor Austerley beneath a New England graveyard and fights horrors he could never have dreamed of. But while he seeks to extract his client from the madness, the Professor shows a hunger for things unholy, an insatiable appetite that chills Kirkgordon to the core.
"Footsteps" is the prelude to "Crescendo!", the first story in the Austerley & Kirkgordon series, and relates the tale of their first bizarre meeting from the perspective of a compromised Kirkgord

Devil in the Countryside Cory Barclay
It's 1588, the height of the Reformation, and a killer is terrorizing the German countryside. There are reports that the legendary Werewolf of Bedburg has returned to a once-peaceful land. Heinrich Franz, a cold and calculating investigator, is tasked with finding whomever -- or whatever -- the killer might be. He'll need all the help he can get, including that of a strange hunter who's recently stumbled into town. Though they're after the same thing, their reasons are worlds apart. And through it all, a priest tries to keep the peace among his frightened townsfolk, while a young woman threatens his most basic beliefs.
