EVIL: Short Stories of Terror, Horror, and Fear
Kevin Bachar is an EMMY award-winning National Geographic writer/cinematographer/director who’s swum with sharks, climbed the peaks of mountains, and explored the darkest of forests. He's also a WGA screenwriter whose elevated horror film, THE INHABITANT, was released through LIONSGATE.
From the writer who brought you the best-selling short story collections DREAD, CREEP, and CURSED, comes a new set of tales that will force you to lock the doors and turn on the lights. EVIL forces you to confront the most terrifying element in our world - EVIL. In each story, we see how it manifests and then consumes those who dare to think they can battle it. In this book, GOOD doesn't triumph over EVIL, it runs away and cowers under the bed and hopes and prays it goes away and never comes back. Can you handle something that is filled with pure EVIL?
Ten-year-old Cassie is playing in the ball pit at the local rundown fast-food palace when she feels something bite her leg and doesn't want to let go.
The passengers on a cross-country bus trip make a stop that will change the lives of everyone on it, and reveal that one of the riders is hiding a horrific secret.
The locals in a remote mountain town know about the wind that supposedly can kill people; they avoid it at all costs. But when a young college meteorologist comes to study it, will he heed their warnings?
