About the author
Randall Lane
73 books6 followersHey y’all, I’m Randall Lane.
I write horror, mystery, and suspense stories rooted in small towns, back roads, and the kind of places where secrets have a way of surviving longer than the people who keep them.
I grew up in South Carolina, where the woods feel closer, the nights feel longer, and stories—especially the unsettling ones—have a way of sticking with you. Like a lot of readers my age, I cut my teeth on Goosebumps, but it was a chance discovery of a novel titled “Monster” by Frank Peretti about a creature lurking in the woods that truly changed everything for me. I found it on a Walmart shelf when I was ten years old, thought the cover looked cool, and ended up reading it cover to cover more times than I can count. That was the moment I realized stories could be terrifying, mysterious, and impossible to put down all at once.
More than a decade later, I took the leap into writing fiction myself—and I’ve never looked back.
The stories I tell focus on ordinary people forced to confront the unexplained, the unseen, and the things that refuse to stay buried. I care deeply about character, atmosphere, and the slow burn of dread that creeps in when something feels off long before it turns deadly. My work is influenced by authors like Stephen King, C.J. Box, James Lee Burke, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, and Steven James—writers who understand that the most frightening stories are often grounded in familiar places and flawed, relatable people.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me saltwater fishing, watching Braves or Coastal Carolina baseball, or cooking up seafood or gumbo with classic rock playing in the background. I’m an old soul at heart, and that sense of nostalgia and place tends to find its way into my stories whether I plan it or not. Along the way, I continue to sharpen my craft while pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of New Orleans—an experience that’s deepened both my storytelling and my love for the written word.
If you enjoy character-driven horror, Southern Gothic mystery, and suspense that lingers long after the final page, I invite you to step into my books and see where the story takes you. I’m glad you’re here—and I hope you’ll stick around for the journey.

These stories are so good! Everything from Ghosts, Haunted Houses, Creepy Woods, Bigfoot, Werewolves, Witches, you name it. This book has it all. Perfect for anyone who considers themselves a horror fan. Reminded me a lot of Stephen King's earlier short-story works. Love the small town settings and its unique characters. 5 huge stars!

This is an awesome collection of creepy short stories. It has everything a horror reader will enjoy. If you like Stephen King or anything in the vein of horror or creepy mysteries, this book will be perfect for you. So many great tales. Would be a great book to read around a campfire. Super creepy and eerie.
