Little Nightmares

By William Wallace

Little Nightmares is an anthology consisting of one long novelette and four short stories offering a unique cut on the classic horror and fantasy genre. Two of the stories, "Short Seller" and "Hard Repo," are crime stories with a gruesome slant similar to the grisly fiction published in the old E.C. Comics magazines, Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror and Haunt of Fear. Scratchers is a classic horror story, "Obeah" is a tale of black magic in the Old West and "Witch's Hat Trick" is a yarn about a modern day Ukrainian witch who has a run-in with Russian mobsters.
