Twenty-Seven Steps: A Tale of Revenge [Kindle Edition]
A girl is brutally raped and exacts a terrible revenge on her rapist in this story of revenge from Morton Crumm.
Warning: This story contains horrific imagery and very disturbing acts and content. It is intended for mature adults and is most likely not appropriate for anyone under the age of eighteen.
An excerpt:
“Did you know people can tear their skin off? Those are called skin flaps,” she said softly, trying desperately to mimic the way he’d spoken softly as though there were romance somehow hidden beneath the surface. Romance. Romance hidden. Romance hidden beneath the surface but not punctuated by candlelight and gentle music but by cold, rough fingers wrapped around her wrists and others at her ankles. “Rock climbers get them.” She couldn’t keep the bitterness from her voice and she took a deep breath to ensure the next word would be soft. “Avulsion. It’s called an avulsion. It’s a wound deeper than an abrasion because it forcibly removes a digit, a limb, an organ, or whatever from its point of insertion.” She paused a moment. She’d said the word right. Relief flooded her. She’d been concerned she’d say the wrong word. She’d been concerned she’d reverse abrasion and avulsion and then have to leave, to go upstairs and start over. She couldn’t keep a bit of triumph from her voice as she added, “It’s not like your tongue. That was a glossectomy. I used a knife. Avulsion has to be torn, ripped. Something like that.”

LZR-1143: Perspectives [Kindle Edition]
$0.99 Nook
In a world overrun by the living dead, every victim has a story. These are some of those stories. This collection of six short stories from a world ravaged by the LZR-1143 virus tell the tale of six different people, all of whom fell victim, in different ways, to the deadly plague.
From the pilot of a commercial aircraft, overwhelmed in midair, to the lonely soldier stranded high above a world of the undead, the six characters each face their own fears and mortality in different ways.
This 20,000 word short-story collection features a unique selection of characters from the original zombie novel by Bryan James, LZR-1143: Infection, and from the recently released sequel, LZR-1143: Evolution. Each character appears only fleetingly in the longer novels, but each has their own unique thread in the LZR-1143 storyline, all of which are exposed in these short excerpts from their final hours alive.
The collection includes The Pilot, The Boy, The Inmate, The Fry Cook, The Subway Passenger, and The Sniper. In The Pilot, a commercial aviator sees his last flight end in a way he never could have imagined. In The Boy, a family trip is cut short, and a lonely homecoming is not at all as he anticipated. We see the surprising genesis and true identity of a traveling companion in The Inmate, while The Fry Cook reveals the final moments of a teenage fast food worker. In The Subway Passenger, we learn that in the case of zombie apocalypse, you’d probably rather be aboveground. And in The Sniper, the surprising truth that there are some fates that cannot be fought, even with a fifty caliber rifle.

Halloween Zombie Horrors: A Collection of Short Stories [Kindle Edition]
Four previously published zombie horror tales by Derek Gunn. The Third Option, Payback, It's Your Turn and School's Out
Deadly Reflections [Kindle Edition]
Longlisted for best horror, best anthology and best cover in the SpaSpa Book Awards 2013
Death is only the beginning...
You’re born, you live and you die. And sometimes, you come back.
When the veil between life and death is torn down, the darkest souls crawl from the shadows to wander the world that rejected them.
But these are not the restless spirits that haunt the pages of folklore, or the childishly gruesome tales whispered over torchlight. These are the ghosts that dwell in the deepest dungeons of your imagination and prey on you when you think you’re alone: bored ghosts trapped in the monotony of office life at the Scare Department; a haunted jail where the prisoners believe in revenge over rehabilitation; a mirror that steals the souls of whoever falls under its spell; and a ghost bride who makes sure the wedding vows are never broken.
Thirteen stories that prove the monsters in your mind might just be real.
The past is no longer a nightmare.

Small-time thief Calvin Doss has bungled a job. He was supposed to steal Jean Harlow’s makeup case. But by accident, he made off with a case that belonged to a B-list horror actor from the 1940s.

Pizza Delivery
From Robert Kent, author of ALL TOGETHER NOW: A ZOMBIE STORY, comes a new tale of terror. College student Brock Clouser is working a summer job delivering pizzas. During a run to the outskirts of Harrington, Indiana, he wrecks his car at an isolated country home. Though most everyone there has been violently murdered, he's not alone.
WARNING
This is a novelette, not a full novel, and it's mean and nasty and intended for a mature audience. It is absolutely not appropriate for younger readers. It's a gruesome, repugnant tale featuring horrific acts of violence sure to warp young minds. Also, these particular characters speak in EXTREMELY COARSE language.
16 Heatherdale Drive
Every street has its secrets: the madness in number seven; the domestic violence in number four; the poltergeist in number fifteen; or the Peeping Tom at number twenty-one. In Heatherdale Drive, a peaceful cul-de-sac home to two dozen families and several singletons, those secrets were locked within number sixteen.
16 Heatherdale Drive is derelict for most of the year. The windows are coated with grime and a thick layer of dust settles on the decaying facade, but for one night of the year -- on Halloween -- 16 Heatherdale Drive comes to life and forces the residents of this quiet street into hiding.
16 Heatherdale Drive is a collection of five chilling horror stories -- including this eponymous tale -- from horror and comedy author David Jester. Infused with Jester's quirky sense of humour and passion for the surreal, 16 Heatherdale Drive is an unforgettable collection.

The Horror
What if the horrors of a seemingly innocent and fun haunted house attraction were real? What if someone were inside with you, stalking you and feeding on your fear? What if every corner of the maze were deadly? What if you couldn't get out?
The Horror tells the story of Lisa and Alan, two college teens visiting a theatrical haunted maze themed after local urban legends. Once inside it becomes clear that the macabre, grisly sights are not just smoke and mirrors, and gallons of fake blood, but the gory work of a deranged psychopath who is inside the house, hunting them.
This 43-page one-shot novelette (aka an extended short story) was a labor of love, a tribute to the slasher genre, and was inspired by one of author Randy L. Shaffer's worst fears: that someone sinister could easily stalk an unassuming guest in a haunted house maze. The result is a terrifying, atmospheric ride through a fast-paced, nail-biting narrative that simply does not let up. Be on the lookout for a follow-up one-shot in 2015.
Also, check out Randy L. Shaffer's other books, including the spirited Christmas novella, Vampire Zombie Claus, his "Goosebumps for adults" short story series, Wicked Neighborhood (with titles including The Stray Cats, The Foot and Mary Lives), and the dramatic short story, Does She Smile at Home?
Unholy Dimensions
"Unholy Dimensions: Lovecraftian Tales" collects 27 eerie short stories inspired by the writing of H. P.

Stories include "The Bones of the Old Ones," "The House on the Plain," "The Cellar Gods," "The Boarded Window," and "Book Worm."
DRACULAS (A Novel of Terror)
A DYING MAN’S GREATEST TREASURE…
Mortimer Moorecook, retired Wall Street raider, avid collector, is losing his fight against cancer. With weeks to live, a package arrives at the door of his hillside mansion—an artifact he paid millions for…a hominoid skull with elongated teeth, discovered in a farmer’s field in the Romanian countryside. With Shanna, his beautiful research assistant looking on, he sinks the skull’s razor sharp fangs into his neck, and immediately goes into convulsions.
OPENS THE DOOR TO AN ANCIENT EVIL...
A rural hospital. A slow night in the ER. Until Moorecook arrives strapped to a gurney, where he promptly codes and dies.
WHERE DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Four well-known horror authors pool their penchants for scares and thrills, and tackle one of the greatest of all legends, with each writer creating a unique character and following them through a vampire outbreak in a secluded hospital.
The goal was simple: write the most intense novel they possibly could.
Which they did.

Unseaming
Everyone in the world awakens covered in blood-and no one knows where the blood came from. A childhood doll arrives to tear its owner's reality limb from limb. A portal to the spirit realm stretches wide on the Appalachian Trail, and something more than human crawls through on eight legs. Words of comfort change to terrifying sounds as a force from outside time speaks through them. The buttons in the bin will unseam your flesh to bare your nastiest secrets.
Opening with "The Button Bin," a finalist for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story, and culminating with its sequel, "The Quiltmaker," which Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award winner Laird Barron has hailed as Mike Allen's masterpiece, this debut collection gathers fourteen horror tales that, in the words of Barron's introduction, "rival anything committed to paper by the likes of contemporary masters such as Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, or Caitlín Kiernan. This is raw, visceral, and sometimes bloody stuff. Primal stuff."
Full Dark, No Stars
The acclaimed #1 New York Times and undisputed King of Horror Stephen King delivers five unforgettable short works, two of which will soon be adapted for film, and which Booklist called “raw looks at the limits of greed, revenge, and self-deception.” Like Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King a master of the long story form.
“I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger…” writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up “1922,” the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife Arlette proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.
In “Big Driver,” soon to be a major Lifetime movie starring Maria Bello, a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger is along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face to face with another stranger: the one inside herself.
“Fair Extension,” the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Harry Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment.
In the last of the tales, soon to be a major motion picture, Darcy Anderson’s husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips and his unsuspecting wife looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It’s a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends “A Good Marriage.”
Lightning
In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.
Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. But just as lightning illuminates, darkness always follows close behind.
