If you’re bored by the torture porn of modern day horror movies and you’ve reread your favorites until you’ve committed them to memory, do yourself a favor and read this anthology. It’s fresh. It’s intimate. It challenges you to consider what you value most. It taps into that dark, universal fear that lives inside of every human. It forces you to recall the depth and breadth of your emotions.
If you have experienced the real-life horror of watching helplessly and exhaustedly while a loved one suffered or you have been the one to drop through a black hole of despair or you simply want to know that someone else has seen your demons, you will find what you are looking for in these pages.
I faced my terror and found my solace in:
- “True Horror” by Lori Michelle
- “The Nightly Disease” by Max Booth III
- “Unwoven” by Tim Waggoner
- “The Funeral Portrait” by Christian A. Larsen
- “Fight” by Jay Wilburn
- “Slippery Love” by April Hawks
When you’ve finished reading your favorite stories from this anthology, go hug your sons and daughters; kiss your parents and grandparents; send a note to your close friends and anyone else you love. And know that you are not alone.
