Lovers’ Leap by Rikki Goodwin
Running an allegedly haunted bed & breakfast sounds a lot more fun to Hazel than her current dead end job, but a trip to inspect a property with her three best friends has unearthed way more ghosts than she was willing to deal with…and only some of them are hers.
Hazel is surprised but pleased when her high school sweetheart Finn suggests they and their significant others go in together on purchasing a B&B, but their weekend trip to visit a potential property has a rocky start. The current elderly (and bizarre) owners seem to take issue with their presence. Dizzy spells plague her and…was that a person she just saw in the mirror?
Both her boyfriend and Finn’s wife are also having a hard time coping with the creepiness of the place. They’d all assumed “haunted” was only a marketing strategy. Perhaps not. Finn, though, is resolute they’re overreacting, and insists on moving forward with the purchase, despite their misgivings. The expansive property might not be big enough to house both Finn and Hazel’s clashing personalities, or the secrets they’ve been keeping from each other.
They’ll have to put those issues aside though, when both of their partners suddenly start behaving erratically. Are they sick? Are they just tired of Finn and Hazel’s bickering? Or is something more sinister going on?

About Sundown: An Occult Halloween Short Story:
What is it about that cursed playground that keeps drawing me back? The more it decays, the more haunted I am by that mystery twenty years ago that we never spoke of after that strange October day. Then the call came, and it was beyond control the moment the sun sank below the horizon, and destiny drew me back to finish what it started.
Legend Has It by DJ Slater
Soon-to-be college graduate Seth McCartney finds his love for his favorite October pastime – visiting haunted house attractions – fading. No matter what he does, he can’t recreate the thrills he felt as a kid and teenager. His best friend and fellow horror enthusiast, Peyton Fischer, has already moved on from this tradition and wants to help Seth do the same, but not without one final hurrah.
Over the years, rumors of an extreme haunted house have repeatedly surfaced, yet Seth has never been able to find it. The fabled place has ten stories of unrelenting horror from trap doors, hidden threats, and “actors” that can not only touch you, but remove you from the house. Each level becomes more challenging the higher you go, and only a select few have made it to the exit on the top floor.
Intrigued, Seth and his friends follow a lead to the elusive haunt’s doorstep. It’s everything Seth could’ve imagined to rekindle his passion. A foreboding atmosphere. High-end set pieces. Realistic effects. But there’s a reason this locale has a frightening reputation, especially when its hallways contain the depths of true terror and survival isn’t guaranteed.

About Prickle by E.K. Larson-Burnett:
Duscha tattoos the strange and the sacred in a cramped studio off Tverskaya Street, guided by a magic she barely understands. The ink—chudo-kraska, her babushka calls it—has always lived in her blood. But lately, it’s been acting on its own.
Clients come in asking for wolves, saints, symbols. They leave with something else entirely. Designs that twist. Changes that burrow deep. Duscha tries to control it, to cleanse the space, to carry on. But the hunger is growing—hers, and the ink’s. And the bodies it marks are no longer just canvases.
They’re doors.
Nothing is Real by Kevin J. Kennedy
When author Kevin J. Kennedy began receiving unmarked boxes filled with journals and scattered notes from an unknown sender, he was baffled. But confusion soon gave way to obsession. The mysterious stranger’s story drew him in, each page revealing tantalising fragments of a man consumed by his perception of flaws in the universe—and by a haunting belief that nothing is real. As Kevin sifted through the cryptic entries, he became consumed—piecing together the puzzle, chasing the truth, and desperately trying to uncover why these journals had found their way to him.
A dark novella, told in epistolary fashion, where mystery unravels into an exploration of existentialism and nihilism.
“A mysterious, surreal, intelligent story, full of shadowy possibilities and deep contemplation. Makes one think.” Michael S. A. Graziano, author of The Divine Farce

“Nothing is Real is a phenomenal piece of writing. It is imaginative, thought-provoking, and raw. What’s more, it perfectly encapsulates the sheer madness of life in the modern world.” Lee Mountford, author of The Haunted series
“Kevin J. Kennedy blurs the lines between fiction and reality in this thought-provoking novella that will leave you just as unsettled as his traditional horror work.” James Kaine, author of The Dead Children’s Playgound
“An existential fever dream with a side of nihilism, Kennedy takes no prisoners as he plucks at the thread of circumstance and human nature. Am I even real?” Leigh Kenny, best-selling author of Cursed and Hush, My Darling.

About The Survivors by Angela White:
Winner of the 2025 MAXY Award for science fiction!
The fall of society triggered a hard, new life where survival became the only focus. We shunned each other and the old ways, killing anyone who was different. We reverted to primitive behaviors, using the war as an excuse to commit unspeakable atrocities, and humanity slipped deeper into the abyss of possible extinction. Soon, darkness blanketed the post-apocalyptic lands with hatred and violence that seemed to have no end. The future, cold and dark, offered little hope.
“War was uglier than we’d imagined. The Draft was reinstated, taking our men and boys. Within days, stores had nothing on the shelves; people began to starve. Hospitals closed due to lack of space and medicine. Police stopped answering calls, stopping coming to work at all. Topside production faded as communications became spotty. Then the power went off…and it didn’t come back on.”
Survival isn’t a given for anyone as mysterious forces move the gifted pawns across a horror-filled chessboard toward a final apocalyptic battle that will save the survivors or bury them under the nuclear ashes.
What makes this post-apocalyptic fantasy series so great?
• A constant battle for survival that includes deadly trips into decaying cities, insanity, fights against nature, horrors of the past, and ghosts that stalk their every move.
• A centuries-old conspiracy that caused Armageddon.
• Dangerous trips through the apocalypse to find family, supplies, safety.
• Real survival methods that can be used if shtf.
• A mobile refugee camp with strange, strict laws.
• A hero you will love, even as you ponder the secrets that could cost them everything.
• Mayhem, murder, and magic!
“The end of the world has given humanity a harsh, merciless existence where nature tries hard to push us to the brink of extinction. Everything is against us, between us. Untold miles of lawless, apocalyptic roads wait for our feet, and the future, cold and dark, offers little comfort. Without change, there can be no peace—only survivors.”

Memory Loss by Bob Price
Investigative journalist Vernon Bass had uncovered something dangerous—so dangerous that a powerful figure wiped his memory clean, resetting him to infancy. Dumped in a foreign country and left for dead, Bass survives and returns to the UK, relearning his native language and slowly piecing together fragments of his past. But the last five years remain a void.
Desperate to reclaim his lost memories, Bass agrees to participate in a radical experiment involving a machine designed to communicate with the human soul. What begins as a quest for truth becomes a metaphysical journey that challenges everything he thought he knew—not just about his investigation, but about himself.
As Bass confronts his soul, he uncovers secrets that transcend memory and reality, leading him into a realm no one could have imagined.
THE BLOOM by Angie
A forgotten town. A buried past. A legacy that refuses to stay dead. When Ava Jameson returns to Hampton, she thinks she’s facing old memories. But something deeper is stirring. Something rooted in the land, in blood, and in the silence between generations. As time passes and new life begins, the line between protection and possession blurs. Some things grow in darkness… and some were never meant to bloom.
About Stricken:
Every year, strokes impact over 800,000 Americans. Walter Reed, a night janitor, becomes one of these statistics when he suffers a devastating stroke that leaves him partially paralyzed and dependent on his children, Randy and Melissa.
When Walter’s estranged brother Arthur dies from an apparent stroke, Walter inherits a Gothic Victorian mansion worth millions. The inheritance seems like salvation—until the family discovers Arthur’s death unleashed something ancient and malevolent that had been contained within the estate’s walls.
As Walter recovers in the mansion, his condition becomes a gateway for a parasitic entity that feeds on weakness and vulnerability. The presence doesn’t just threaten Walter—it begins to influence his recovery in ways that put his entire family at risk, especially his vulnerable five-year-old granddaughter Chelsea.
Stricken blends medical drama with supernatural horror, following a family’s fight for survival against both Walter’s debilitating condition and the darkness that exploits it. With his physical limitations making him the perfect vessel, Walter must find strength not in his healing body, but in his love for his family—before the entity claims them all.
In this tale where stroke symptoms become supernatural possession and recovery becomes a race against evil, the greatest battle isn’t against disability, but against losing one’s humanity entirely.

About Luna’s Veil:
Leonard Burton wakes up to find his life in ruins. His wife is dead, and no one believes his story about what killed her – he’s not even sure he believes it himself. Now, in jail for the crime and with no friends, his prospects are bleak. That is, until he is rescued by Dr. Cecil Gainor, an enigmatic investigator and perhaps the only other man who knows what unnatural horrors are really at work.
Unfortunately, more questions arise when Cecil’s partner disappears while chasing the same dark forces responsible for the death of Lenny’s wife. The two men realize they must follow the trail themselves, or many other lives may be at risk.
What follows is a race against time to clear Lenny’s name and find the real killers before the full moon.
The death and destruction that has already been suffered is nothing compared to what will occur beneath Luna’s Veil.

About Shadow & Blood:
The world has been thrown into chaos. People have lost their families. They’ve lost their homes. They’ve lost everything they hold dear. And worst of all, no one is going to save them.
When a new, deadly variant of COVID-19 emerges, COVID-X, the world is unprepared for its devastating consequences. Families are torn apart as those infected descend into a frenzied state of rage, barbarity, and bloodlust.
The infected become known as Shadow Seekers, and for now, there is no cure. The Shadow Seekers are brutal, savage creatures of the night, devoid of humanity and slaughtering anyone they come across, even their loved ones.
Shadow & Blood follows two families on opposite sides of the globe, as the world descends into chaos and madness.
The Wu family live in a dilapidated, cramped building in the heart of the initial outbreak, the city of Wuhan. They must form a coalition with their neighbors to protect themselves from the Shadow Seekers which are appearing all around them.
The Campbell family lives in an affluent neighborhood of New Jersey where they experience a new reality of danger and horror. They must confront violent, bloodthirsty Shadow Seekers as they attempt to force their way into their home.
As the families fight for their lives, they must also face the grim reality of a world on the brink of collapse. Will they be able to overcome the dangers of the virus and the Shadow Seekers, or will they succumb to the darkness that threatens to engulf them?
Each chapter sees the world spiral more and more out of control with increasing levels of disorder, terror, and carnage. In the end few remain as the Shadow Seekers overrun the populations of many major cities, and whoever is left must do whatever they can to survive.
Will the world be able to stop the spread of this deadly virus before it’s too late? There is no end in sight, no light at the end of the tunnel, only heartbreak and ruin. Yet, humanity fights on and maintains hope, for now.
About Penny Dreadful by Mary Hallberg:
Penny Boudreaux didn’t believe in ghosts…until they started talking to her.
Ever since her mother’s death five years ago, 16-year-old Penny has had a fascination with death, even opting for part time work at her mother’s old funeral home. Between the stresses of school, work and toxic friends, Penny could use a mother’s guidance. But she never believed anyone could return from the dead.
Then she begins hearing whispers in quiet rooms and seeing strange figures nobody else can see. And when she meets a mysterious boy named Stephen Campbell, she realizes he may provide the answers she seeks about the Gift she suspects she possesses — the Gift of necromancy.
With her newfound Gift — and Stephen’s help — Penny sets out to resurrect her mother. But her experience is limited and her patience thin, especially when an otherworldly encounter leads her to believe her mother’s death wasn’t the accident she thought. Now Penny must bring back and avenge her mother without harming Stephen — or herself.
