Lying Awake: A Horror Anthology

by Jesse Pullins

Deep underground, something stirs beneath Dyer Falls. A small midwestern town is plagued by misfortune, a dark cloud that looms as the tragedies ensue, and the missing persons pile up. Whether it be an unsettling presence, mysterious lights, or impossible horrors, Lying Awake brings eye-witness accounts to your front door, showing you evil in every imaginable form. Be it the cruelty of humanity, the things in the trees you can’t explain, or the slumbering terror that lurks on the web.

From the mind that brought you cheap thrills and Undulating Flesh, comes a first-person anthology of twenty distressing tales, each one more disturbing than the last. Featuring stories like “Car Salesman”, “The Swan”, and “The Paper Mache Man”, this collection will have you questioning the things you see, flinching at the things you hear, and wondering if you really did lock the door as you’re left… lying awake.

Absolutely savage book! I Enjoyed this way to much. Jesse has a way with the words that just pulls you in and make you feel like a scared nine year old hiding under the covers.

Great collection!

Great collection of short stories, they were all enjoyable, some more creepier than others. I loved how you can find connections between them.
