A collection of frightening tales that take place in the past, present, and future. From the depths of hell, to unknown threats of the universe, to human atrocities, these stories will scare you. Keep the lights on and lock the damn doors.
After blogging for seven years Susan decided to publish a poetry book, Random Reflections, in 2020. Step into the mind of a Hoosier indie writer!
Cataclysm in the Cosmos, a clean, middle grade series, came out in 2021. It is guaranteed to engage young readers, while also promoting science and space exploration.
Following the trilogy, she wrote a stand alone mature sci-fi book called Into the Sun. It presents a different take on alien invasion.
Her latest works, published in 2025, are a crime fiction thriller based in Northwest Indiana, Lakeshore Secrets and also a horror anthology, Night Passage.
Susan's favorite genres are science fiction, horror, true crime, poetry, mysteries, teen/YA, historical works, baseball bios, and fantasy.
Night Passages is a collection of horror stories. There’s a tale of a judgmental horror fiend, who gets hers in a movie theater. A roller derby gone completely wrong in an homage to an eighty’s roller rink, and a nostalgic trip to the eighties. A forensic folly of sorts with death, decay, and a surprise ending! Susan Draper pulls you in and as you enter the door of her macabre story telling, you'll be scared, elated, and all the feels. Her shorts will pull you into a midwestern stranglehold in these nostalgic takes on horror and the bizarre. A great read, and one that I won’t soon forget!
