Excerpts

One Step Too Far

Lisa Gardner

"The three men came stumbling into town shortly after ten a.m., babbling of dark shapes and eerie screams and their missing buddy Scott and other missing buddy Tim."

Fuminori Nakamura, translated by Sam Bett

Jonathan Kellerman

"Four fifty-three in the morning was too early for anything."


“Rebecca”

Story by Daphne du Maurier, art/adaptation by Emily Rose Dixon

"She's dead. And one should not have thoughts about the dead."


Love & Bullets: Megabomb Edition

Winter Water

Susanne Jansson

"A pale sun was shining outside, and Martin hadn’t bothered to clean up the breakfast dishes."


No Beauties or Monsters

Tara Goedjen

From A Dark Horizon

Luke McCallin

"It had been Russia, and she had not been a farmer’s daughter, but she had been flaxen."


Don’t Fear the Reaper

Stephen Graham Jones

"In the summer of 2015 a rough beast slouched out of the shadows and into the waking nightmares of an unsuspecting world."
