After Dark in Crazy Town – Chad Farmer and Nathan D. Ludwig
Horror collection
Five “stupid, gross, and allegedly funny short stories”.
Blood Cypress – Elizabeth Broadbent
Small town horror
No one cares when Lila Carson’s ten-year-old brother Beau disappears. He can’t speak. He throws tantrums. He’s a useless Carson, one of those kids in a broken-shuttered house that lost its glory when his father died.
When the sheriff and his good ol’ boy deputies show up to investigate, they eye up Lila and call her twin brother, Quentin, names. A closeted bisexual girl in the South, she’s terrified.
Lower Congaree recites it like an eleventh commandment: Don’t go in that swamp.
But as the long night drags on, it’s clear Beau disappeared behind those ancient trees. The sheriff’s deputies won’t risk going back there.
Lila might not have a choice.
Do Not Unlock – CS Jones
Supernatural horror
There’s something wrong in HMP Endgate.
The arrival of a malevolent force, far exceeding the evils Tom Jones and his fellow prison officers face daily, renders everyone inside trapped and cut off from the outside world. Unsure of what to do or who to trust, staff and prisoners alike find themselves in a fight for survival.
Not willing to give up, one by one, they fall victim to the ancient evil wandering the prison grounds.
With everyone’s life in the balance, their only hope is to band together against the evil and prevent it from escaping.
