Half Past the Witching Hour

About this book

Half Past The Witching Hour is a psyche-jarring collection of suspenseful short stories that combine old-fashioned "bare bones" horror, Sci-Fi, mystery and suspense with "O. Henry-style" surprise endings sure to keep those brave souls willing to indulge glued to the printed page. From 17th Century horrors to parasitic terrors found in the deepest, darkest corner of outer space, to a group of misfit malcontent superheroes of the near future facing down the ultimate evil, the face of fear has never been so intrusive, yet strangely enticing. Each tale contained within has its own unique twist that sets it apart from the usual thrill-read, from creatures born from myth and legend, to haunted hotel rooms seemingly constructed upon damned grounds, to a futuristic "Reality TV" program geared towards an audience of walking cadavers. Twenty eight fright-fests in all, running a chilling gamut in covering a vast cornucopia of genre staples such as vampires, werewolves, psychopaths and the most vengeful of phantoms, this frightful collection leaves no bone...um, stone unturned in its relentless quest to shock, repulse, and leave the reader’s flesh crawling as the clock on a nearby wall chimes in at Half Past The Witching Hour...
