Haunted Stillwater, Oklahoma by Jeff Provine
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is the third haunting book by Provine I’ve read. I always appreciate the historical deep dives, and the chapters dedicated to weird creatures. Ghosts are great, but I want to hear about Bigfoot and eldritch ostrich creatures too!

Yankee Ghosts by Hans Holzer
Rate this book
Clear rating
A fun collection of ghost stories. Holzer likes to act as if he is conducting rigorous investigations though, and everything hinges on psychics, so nonsense on nonsense. Still a fun read!

Dead Boys Don’t Cry by Joe Koch
Dead Boys Don’t Cry

A visceral fever dream of horror, the kind of grisly, otherworldly story telling told with absolutely stunning prose that Joe Koch excels at. As with any of Koch's fiction, it's like nothing else. ...more

It’s an old fashioned collection of midwestern ghost stories. Comfort reading at its finest.

As a huge fan of the movies and Bloch’s novels (including the unhinged sequels) I loved this so much. Brilliant thriller. A nice nod to Psycho 2. Absolutely its own story, too. Never feels like a retread.

Wayne Fenlon assembles an absolute murderers' row of talent. The best voices in indie horror take on a single theme, the end of the world, and all create vastly differing and unique tales. When I was invited to take part, I couldn't believe I would a ...more

Quotes by Elford Alley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We have an image to uphold, and that image is plausible deniability that we’re even open.”
― Elford Alley, Ash and Bone: Tales of Terror

“She hoped there was no long journey or clouds with halos and harps. People deserve rest, they deserve to forget their hurts and let go of those pains. How could you exist in heaven? How could anyone let go of the pain and loss suffered on earth, and enjoy eternity? She always wondered. She always feared.”
― Elford Alley, Apartment 239
