Horror

Straw Girl by Brigid Barry

Straw Girl by Brigid Barry

To believe in that other world, she must first learn to believe in herself.
The signs were always there.
The footsteps.
The cries.
The melancholy music from a faraway place.
Though Melissa Roberts lives alone, she chooses not to believe in superstitions. Locked in the rational prison of her closed imagination, she must open her mind and soul to that other place before it’s too late.
For the voices are rising.
The footsteps draw closer.
Until the music is deafening.
She must prepare herself. She must become the Straw Girl. They are coming for her.

Dominion A Short Horror Story

About Dominion A Short Horror Story:

Evil doesn’t need an invitation — only a moment of weakness.
When a grieving widower named Marcus inherits a crumbling farmhouse in the remote hills of East Texas, he sees it as a chance to escape the noise of the world and the pain of his past. But silence can be deceiving. Beneath the floorboards and behind the walls, something ancient waits — something that never left.
As Marcus begins to experience strange visions and chilling whispers, he uncovers a secret buried deep in the soil: the house was once the site of an unsanctioned spiritual experiment — a ritual gone wrong that opened a door no man was meant to open. Now, the land itself is cursed, and the evil that once had dominion over the house wants a new vessel… him.
As darkness closes in and the veil between worlds thinks, Marcus must confront a terrifying truth: the only way to survive is to fight not just for his life, but for control of his soul.
Dominion is a tense, atmospheric horror tale of grief, possession, and the invisible forces that hunger for dominion over human hearts. In just a few pages, it delivers a full-throttle descent into spiritual terror — where every shadow is suspected, and salvation comes with a price.

Detective Lucas Reid responds to a chilling voicemail that leads him to an abandoned apartment and a mirror that reflects more than just his face—it reflects something alive. Something watching. Something waiting.

Sunset Blood

About Sunset Blood:

Gold was the prize. Blood was the price.

The Wild Six thought they were pulling a routine heist — stagecoach, guns, a creepy stone box. Easy money. But when the dust settles and the chest cracks open, what comes out isn’t treasure… It’s Lord Braga, an ancient vampire with a taste for chaos and a thirst that won’t quit.

Trapped in a valley sealed by rock and fate, outlaw Cal “Trigger” Jones teams up with the one man he can barely stand — righteous Sheriff Jedidiah Scott. As the dead start rising and the living start falling, enemies become allies in a last-ditch effort to save what’s left of the cursed town of Sunset.

But with betrayal at every turn, blood on every doorstep, and Braga turning folks faster than Cal can fan the hammer on his six-shooter, salvation may come too late.

Soaked in gore and packed with vampire-slayin’ frontier justice, Sunset Blood is the ultimate undead Western showdown.

The sun’s going down. And it’s not coming back up.

Get Out of The Woods: Terrifying encounters in the woods with bigfoot, aliens, skinwalkers, dogmen

About Get Out of The Woods: Terrifying encounters in the woods with bigfoot, aliens, skinwalkers, dogmen:

“It’s about power. It feeds on fear. And it knows exactly how to make us fear it.” She heard a knock at the door. It was a delivery – a package with no return address. She opened it cautiously and found a small box inside. Inside the box was a note – written in red ink: “Get out while you still can.” And on top of that note was a small piece of bone – human bone.’
‘Legend said that the Skinwalker was once a human, a shaman who had made a pact with dark forces to gain ultimate power. But as time went on, it became clear that this was no ordinary mortal – for it had transcended the boundaries of humanity and become something else entirely. One of them never made it out alive – his body was found days later, mutilated beyond recognition.’

‘On quiet nights, you could still hear Erroll’s screams echoing through those woods – or hear him whispering his parents’ names in desperation…’

‘Jade knew that she had to get out of there – had to escape before it was too late. But as she looked around at the rows of cages, she knew the aliens were always watching – always waiting for their next victim…’

I am now Dog

About I am now Dog:

I am now Dog is dedicated to my Dad and my brother.

We are all bastards and get away with far too much in life. But life is pure and so are we. This is the reason I wrote I am now dog.

It’s funny, hip and toys with the human condition as well as current socio-political events in a way that that, frankly, turns my literary head on.

There is a debt of honour for Mikhail Bulgakov’s heart of the dog, which I felt, failed/meandered in many places.

Such is life, such are other people’s stories the foundation for which I borrow and steal ever so zealously wherever I can.

Horror in The Pines: True Encounters of the Unexplainable

About Horror in The Pines: True Encounters of the Unexplainable:

‘As I turned to leave, I caught sight of something that made my heart pound against my ribcage. A journal lay haphazardly on the ground, its pages yellowed with age, ink smeared as if in haste. Against my better judgment, I flipped it open. The handwriting was erratic, full of exclamation points and frantic scribbles. “I hear them every night. The whispers. They know. They see me. It’s too late. They’re coming for me…”

In A Season Of Dead Weather by Mark Fuller Dillon

In A Season Of Dead Weather by Mark Fuller Dillon

In a season of dead weather, the mind clutches at reality; but what does it find instead? Madness, or monsters? Ghosts, or things more terrible than ghosts? Illusions, or invasions? Dreams, or the darkness at the end of all nightmares? One thing is clear: these are tales that echoes tell, in a season of dead weather.

The weird, the uncanny, the strange: these are the local conditions of dead weather.

And these are stories based on dreams and nightmares, on things barely glimpsed in the moonrise, on places perfectly normal by day but haunted by the light of winter stars.

Along with stories that appeared in “All Hallows” (edited by Barbara and Christopher Roden) and in the ROC anthology, “Alone on the Darkside” (edited by John Pelan) are tales that have never seen the light — but now, as daylight fades, the stories can be told.

(May be too intense for younger readers.)

“Mark Fuller Dillon is an original talent, whose precise use of language, obliquely disturbing imagery and meticulous world building single him out as a writer to watch.”

[Peter Tennant, BLACK STATIC #35.]

“There are themes of love and loss, misunderstanding, and a diminishing sense of identity throughout this collection which link the stories strongly. The bleak landscape clearly inspires the author, and his descriptive prose of rural communities in the grip of a Canadian winter will have you shivering; yet despite this there is a warmth of experience here which brings the characters to life, proving the author not only writes beautifully, but also has a lot to say. I was entranced by this book, and I read it in one sitting. These are powerful yet subtle three-dimensional tales from an original mind, and Mark Fuller Dillon deserves a greater readership.”

[Martin Cosby, author of DYING EMBERS]

“I enjoyed this collection, not least because I felt I was sharing the imaginative world of someone who doesn’t seek easy answers or rely on obvious gimmicks.”

[David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES]

The Revenants by Mary Hallberg

About The Revenants by Mary Hallberg:

They came for ghosts, but found something much worse…
It’s the summer after graduation, and 18-year-old Will wants one last blast with his friends before they go their separate ways for college. At the suggestion of his ghost hunter friend Cam, they sneak onto the grounds of Pleasanthood, a town abandoned after a devastating chemical spill twenty years earlier. The town is supposed to be haunted by the people who died in the disaster. But Will doesn’t believe in the paranormal, so he’s not too worried about that. His primary concern is getting somewhere with his crush, Piper, who he somehow convinced to come along.
But once they arrive, the group quickly realizes something’s not right. Stationary objects move seemingly on their own. Thick fog surrounds the town on an otherwise clear evening. And even though it’s the middle of July in south Louisiana, it’s cold enough for them to wear jackets.
And things are about to get worse. When the sun sets, something else emerges from the nearby cemetery. Corpses brought to life by the chemical spill set out to consume the living, regenerating — and getting stronger — with each kill. Now, trapped within the thick woods surrounding the plant, Will and his friends must escape the living dead…or become part of them.
The Revenants is a supernatural horror novella that fans of zombies and the paranormal alike will enjoy.
