A father is forced to make a terrible decision… Which of his children will he sacrifice to the Garbage Collectors? A family’s sightseeing trip turns into a desperate fight for survival when a city is besieged by flesh-melting rain. A man’s childhood nightmare returns, forcing him to confront the monster under the bed to protect his family. Two siblings must rely on each other to survive when their daycare turns into a den of horror. Two elite snipers wage an impossible war when a secret military experiment unleashes the apocalypse.
Prepare to be haunted by these twisted tales and others that will keep you turning pages late into the night!
Tales From The Parkland is a spine-tingling collection of short stories and a novella. Having grown up watching reruns of Circle of Fear and similar shows, I was first attracted to this book by its comparison to Twilight Zone, and having just finished reading it, I could easily picture several of these bite-sized terror treats as episodes.
A few of my many favorites were The Garbage Collectors, in which a family is forced to confront a strange practice that happens in their neighborhood.
Bogeyman is the answer to what happens to that monster under your bed once you grow up and quit believing.
A pesky little sister will regret inviting herself along for a walk in the woods with her older brother in Squealer.
A family's walk back to their hotel is interrupted by peculiar weather in Acid Rain.
There are also stories of zombies and some werewolves add a creature feature vibe to this well-rounded collection.
