In this collection of nineteen short stories, Craig Nybo invites you to visit the lives of mostly unfortunate souls as they face the most terrifying moments of their existences. With everything from vampire hunting to zombie bashing, from steampunk death devices to shifty soul brokers, Nybo brings his own sense of perspective and, of course, his sense of humor to this collection of departures from reality. Terrifying Lies contains Nybo's acclaimed story, "The Mechanic," along with eighteen other tales of the macabre. Whether you are looking for scary stories for adults or a collection of scary stories for sleepovers, Terrifying Lies sits at the top of even the most discerning list of scary books on the market. If you are looking for a scary book of short departures into darker realms, pick up a copy of Terrifying Lies.
Nybo's collection runs the spectrum of dark themes from zombies to demons. Yet the characters have usually found their niche, living comfortably in an otherwise horrifying situation. The juxtaposition of competence amidst chaos gives the reader a warm fire to sidle up to while the ravening wolves howl.
Anybody paying attention will know which of these stories is my favorite, but I also really loved Soul Collector.
