I missed out on these limited edition chapbooks when they were first published. Imagine my delight at being invited to read them all here, collected in a single volume, complete with author notes and illustrations.
This anthology contains 21 stories by some of my favorite authors.
There are tales of murder, compulsions, invisible monsters, werewolves, and more.
A few of my favorites were How the Wind Lies by Brian James Freeman, about a family of homesteaders who have moved west to escape the dangers in the eastern colonies. This was historical horror fiction at its finest.
I have always had a feeling that cats ruled the world, but Cozzy's Question by Matt Bechtel and Bob Booth proves that they are worthy of the honor.
Detectives find the motive for a series of brutal child murders in No Songs For The Stars by Mary SanGiovanni.
There's a Blubird in My Heart by Gary McMahon holds the answer to whether monsters are real or merely a conspiracy theory.
A church sponsored camping trip leaves a small group of boys and their chaperones forever changed in The Church of Dead Languages by James Newman and Jason Brannon.
Halves by Brian Keene is a chilling tale of imaginary friends who might be more than make-believe, and an outdoor cat who likes to leave gifts at the door.
There are so many great stories in here, but those are the ones that stuck in my mind.
If you like dark fiction, White Noise can be music to your ears.
My thanks to Keith Minnion for the paperback.
