The Hatchlings: A Short Tale of Terror
A peaceful Saturday afternoon barbecue turns into an afternoon of terror for a suburban man when the charcoal briquets he is using in his grill start to hatch! He must find a way to combat the deviant creatures that emerge from the hot coals and save his home from being destroyed.
The Hatchlings is the forty-first short horror story in the Land of Fright™ series of horror short stories. The Land of Fright™ series is intended for mature audiences.
The Hatchlings is also available in Land of Fright™ - Collection V and in Land of Fright™ Mega Collection 2 .
That Was So Weird
The grill made a crackling noise and he looked back over to the coals. Even from this distance, he could see that one of the briquets had a very pronounced crack in it. Calum frowned. That was so weird. He moved back over to the grill.
When the tiny leg poked its way out of the charcoal, he dropped his beer bottle in startled amazement. The bottle shattered on the concrete floor of the garage, spraying his jeans with splashing liquid and spattering flecks of foam.
Step Into Fear!

Callum is on a week’s vacation. What better way to celebrate his vacation? Skip church and relax.
While his family is suffering through church, he decides to grill some steaks. Nothing like charcoal grilled steaks.
Uh, oh! Looks like something is wrong with the charcoal...
