About this ebook
In his first collection of short fiction, Justin Webster offers a selection of macabre, bold, and haunting tales. Forbidden lovers and lost souls, vengeful spirits, and horrors lurk closer than they should. In “Dean Lake,” a woman trapped in an isolated cottage whose love life recently came to an abrupt end may not be as alone as she thinks; in “Harvest,” a childhood friend, long dead comes back to play one more time. And in “The Trip,” evil is just a short distance away. In all, the forty tales are bound to rattle the reader.
Webster cranks up the nightmarish bad that exists in the natural and supernatural worlds and brings it right to your back door. He takes what is sacred and constant and turns it upside down before giving it a shake. Lore is a deliciously chilling collection with the sole intention to scare. And the stories do so in surprisingly few pages. Your vested interest in the characters and their inevitable downfall comes fast and hard, but stays with you long after you’ve put the book down.
Justin Webster
Justin was born in Florence, Ontario in 1972, the only child of Wayne and Joan Webster. Justin lived his entire childhood in Florence and that hamlet plays a part in nearly every story in Lore. Justin attended Dawn Township Central School and dated Tammy Robinson briefly in 1986. They never officially broke up so they may still be an item in spite of his marriage. He then went on to graduate from Lambton Kent Composite School in Dresden in 1991. He went out with other girls there whom he made a point to clearly define relationship beginnings and endings. From there, he attended Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. It was there where he met his future wife and they are still an item as far as he knows. After Waterloo, he flew to New York City to become a trained actor at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, equipping himself to wait on tables. Realizing that he wasn't cut out for poverty and struggle, Justin attended teachers' college at the University of Western, Ontario. His wife did the same (though she's much better at it than him) and now they both teach in their hometown of Listowel, Ontario. It was during this time that both he and his wife renewed their passion for acting and purchased a small church in Listowel, transforming it into a small stage theatre to be called, Theatre Three-Eleven. It's at Theatre Three-Eleven that Justin acts, directs and produces many plays that have been enjoyed by the community. Justin Webster’s short stories and writing have appeared nowhere. The last prize--let alone literary prize--he received for anything didn’t involve writing and preceded his first kiss by at least two years. He is a lucky man, spending his time teaching elementary students and learning from his wife, two daughters, and dog. Lore is his first book.
