Next Door: A Collection of Twelve Twisted Tales and One True Story

Kimberly Davis Basso

Happy to announce my new collection - Next Door: A Collection of Twelve Twisted Tales and One True Story will be knocking on your door on October 13, 2021. I hope you'll dive into these story of seemingly ordinary people as they navigate "the weird, the macabre, and almost everything in between" (Beau Johnson, Brand New Dark).

Here's a closer look:
Welcome to the neighborhood NEXT DOOR: one woman swims, and one gets ready for bed. A boy impresses his brothers, crown upon his head. An old lady cleans her kitchen as voices call a children's rhyme. Somewhere down your street, a wooden box arrives. Horses cry and ink is spilled. Bookstores. Dentist drills. Right next door-- slightly chilled. Award winning writer Kimberly Davis Basso turns her attention to twelve tales of dark fiction and one true story in an evocative collection of quiet horror and suspense. Next Door is an eerie, beautiful mix of supernatural thrills, nightmares, and literary short stories.

The stories of NEXT DOOR: In King of Cape Cod, a child finds a treasure on a beach, inviting tragedy into his family. La Strega Ragna gives a new twist on an old recipe, while To the Mountaintop and Archives will have you rethinking your outdoor activities. Shimmer explores cultish devotion, while Chat Box, Drill, Mote and Inkoffer a glimpse into the hidden lives of ordinary people in your neighborhood. When Horses Cry visits a haunted city, and Moo visits the end of the world. Cul de Sac is a suburban nightmare, and the little girl in The Deep End of the Pool is not at all what she seems. The thirteen stories NEXT DOOR make one very unsettling place to visit, and just might make you wonder about your neighbors.

As you all know, four years ago I had a stroke. I've created a very short video that reviews the symptoms to look for - some of them may surprise you!
