TALES FROM THE BONE ORCHARD

Rate this book
A chilling collection of uniquely disturbing short stories and terrifying nightmares.

Five stories. Five escalating nightmares that push past “scary” and into something far more intense.

The kind of horror that makes readers pause mid-page, swallow hard, and decide whether they really want to keep going.

Extreme body horror meets psychological dread. Cosmic horror collides with intimate terror. Every story escalates beyond comfort into infestation, transformation, and the sick realization that the worst part isn’t the monster…

…it’s how your own body might respond.

You’ve been warned. Some stories can’t be unread.

What’s Inside

RATS
Nobody pays attention to rats. That was the mistake. A journalist records the collapse from quarantine as the city realizes the infestation isn’t random... it’s organized, and it’s already too late.

REJUVENATION
A medspa biostimulator promises “Restore your architecture. Rebuild from within.” Then your face becomes a construction site you can’t shut down.

HELP WANTED
No résumé. No questions. Just an address and a time. What starts as a simple interview turns into a glimpse of something predatory that doesn’t kill quickly… because it prefers its victims kept alive.

THE LAST COLONIST
Kepler-442b was supposed to be humanity’s second chance. Now one colonist logs the aftermath of a sickness that turns bodies into lesions swelling, bones softening, and a new truth scratching from beneath the skin.

A RICH VEIN
1897. Alaska. A lifetime later, an old man still dreams of what was “found” out pale, writhing, intelligent, and the sound that never wet, rhythmic clicking in the dark.

Reader Written for adult horror readers. Contains graphic horror elements.

89 pages, Kindle Edition

A very intriguing collection of horror

Had this recommended on a lot of videos, finally bought it. Each story is worth the read! Not the strongest collection of short stories I've read but nothing fell through the cracks
