This collection of fifteen short stories and four essays pays homage to the powerful and influential voices in horror from the past 50 years.

In “Traditions Lost”, Halloween will never be the same for a small town after The Bad Man pays a visit. Serial killers torment a successful writer in the twisted tale “The Killers Never Leave Us.”

With “Marisa’s Curse”, a cursed golf hole unleashes unfathomable evil onto an elderly couple’s lives. “This is My Beach; This is Your Darkness” delivers an unforgettable tale of regret and what we all might owe for our past shortcomings.

In “The Dog Creek Coven”, fellow beastly writer Andy Rausch teams up with Clark Roberts and delivers a knock-out blow in a story about witches, werewolves, and a tenacious hitman.

Lean close to the firelight, and listen as the newest beast unleashes its tales.

“Whether you are an avid fan of the genre or one who reads it every so often, this is a collection you should pick up. Just know you won't be putting it down until you reach the last page.” — J. M. Van Horn, Editor, The Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers
