H. DAIR BROWN writes books and stories for people who like to read in that scary place where quiet, often supernatural horror and psychological thrillers overlap.

You can find some of the wiliest characters from MOLLY BRIGHT, her award-winning novel-in-stories, resurfacing in SUMMER BLUDGEON and AUTUMN NOIR (Disturb Ink Books). The stories in HOPE SCREAMS ETERNAL and STILL OF WINTER (both from Inky Bones Press) veer a little more horror.

For a quick sip of scary, check out the SINISTER CENTURY SERIES in the 90-minute reads category! Each collection in the series delves into the dark underbelly of a specific decade, bringing to life the horrors that lurk beneath the surface of nostalgic eras. From the eerie silence of early cinema to the ever vigilant (always listening) AI of today, these chilling tales explore how technology and culture intertwine to create nightmares tailor made for each generation.

Four stories make up this short anthology of '80s video-themed horror. All the stories are terrific, easy reads, no ambiguous or open endings, just straightforward horror tales around video rental stories, VHR tapes and the huge videocameras of that decade ("Taped" by Richard Lau, "The Parade" by Dawn DeBraal), ghosts on VHR ("What Angie Wants" by Beth Gaydon), and possession caught on video ("Play" by C.R.J. Smith, the longest story in the book). This is the perfect Halloween book, short and riveting!

Four very entertaining crime-meets-horror stories, just in time for Halloween! Taped, by Richard Lau, is evocative of an Escher print. The Parade, by Dawn DeBraal, uses great descriptions of a small-town tradition to horrifying effect. What Angie Wants, by Beth Gaydon, is a suspenseful mashup of amateur sleuth, horror, and revenge. Play, by C.R.J. Smith, is a dark imagining that turns childhood's innocence upside down. All of them left me thinking...and having a little trouble getting to sleep...
