About Where Darkness Lives and Other Monstrous Tales An Anthology of Fantasy, Horror, and Speculative Flash Fiction
In the dark beneath the stairs, in the mist beyond the trees, in bubbling swamps and blackened deeps--this is where monsters lie in wait, eager to sink their teeth into the next fool who crosses their path. Or so we're told. If you ask the monsters, huddled away from burning torches, they may see things a bit differently. Dig your claws into 24 bite-sized monster tales tailor-made for science fiction, fantasy and horror fans. From harpies to yetis, toxic terrors to red-eyed demons, each has their own story to tell--and they might not be the most frightening part of it. Where Darkness Lives and Other Monstrous Tales includes: Where Darkness Lives - A child learns what's been waiting for them in the dark for as long as they can remember. Siren Song - A life is cut tragically short by a raging beast, and the wrong person takes the blame. Harvest - The Worldbeast turned Earth into a paradise, and it only asks a small favor in return. The Spider Jar - Arachne decides there are perks to being cursed by an angry goddess. Deep Down - An explorer tries to escape his demons beneath the waves, and discovers something much worse. And many more . . .
