“Kristopher Rufty writes like he’s going for your throat. His work is vivid and alive, with a spot-on eye for all things scary. This is horror to read with the lights on!”

These are just a few of the stories in Bone Chimes 2 , the second collection from Kristopher Rufty that features nine more demented tales for fans of monsters and childhood fears brought to life. With an introduction by Aron Beauregard, this collection will leave you squirming with fear and delight!

"Kristopher Rufty’s prose sticks it in, breaks it off, and refuses to kiss on the lips no matter how much you tip. His characters are laced with the essence of horror within the weaving of his own creation. Leave the cash on the dresser and take the ride."
-John Wayne Comunale, author of THE CYCLE and MAGE OF THE HELLMOUTH.

I haven't read much by the author, after reading this, I'm going to have to correct that. Rufty brings it to you fast and in your face. Pick this one up.

Loved these short stories. Each one wildly different from the last, but equally as horrific. The writing is great which makes it easy for the reader to fall into and just want to keep turning those pages.
Definitely check this out if you are a horror fan.

Love Kristopher!
I try to get every new book but there are a couple I haven't read yet. Each new book is better than the last! Hoping for a sequel to Vampire of Plainfield.

Rufty’s collection is disturbing, original, and unapologetically dark. I enjoyed most of the stories, except one.
