Take an electrifying, bone-chilling journey through the darkest realms of horror. Trapped within these pages, doomed adventurers, unwitting victims, and mad scholars discover the awful truth behind a quiet Kansas farm where something’s wrong with the pigs, a coven of sisters who worship the God of the Axe, modern military drones in touch with weird forces, and dozens of other ghastly vistas. Jonah Buck, author of Carrion Safari and Substratum, punctuates each short story with calculated horror. Squeeze in a story before falling asleep, but be sure to check the dark recesses of the closet and under the bed first. These stories have teeth. Lots of teeth.
Jonah Buck wanted to study eldritch knowledge and commune with pale, semi-human creatures that flit across the sunless landscape to terrorize the living, so he became an Oregon attorney. His interests include history, exotic poultry, paleontology, and professional stage magic.
A collection of chilling and very succinct horror stories (most of them are no more than two pages). There is an interesting through-line that appears in some of the stories, which builds to a terrifying climax, and several of the stories are sequential parts of a narrative.
A good spooky season read that doesn't take long to get through. I enjoyed the stories in this and it sort of felt like a Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark for adults.
