13th Hour: Tales from Light to Midnight

By Tammie Painter

In the tradition of Stephen King's dark humor and even darker monsters, 13th Hour will delight you, mystify you, and make you cringe.

13th Hour's seventeen tales tick through questions such as....Can you dream forever? What is it really like to work for the gods? What would you do for love? Or for revenge? Do ancient creatures still stalk the earth? What lurks in paradise? What is your family’s darkest secret? ...and many more.

So sit down and unwind your clocks because it's time for the 13th Hour.

What Readers Are Saying
"I usually don't read fiction but this I really liked. The stories were varied in the type of suspense/horror. To me these stories seem like a cross between Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock."

"I'm a huge fan of supernatural short stories, and this book was perfect. My favorite story, 'Island Ways' creeped me out in the way I only thought Stephen King could. Loved it!"

"This is a great collection of short stories! So well written, each story totally unique, a really great read! I will be recommending this book to all of my friends!"

Tammie Painter

Short Version:  I turn wickedly strong tea into historical fantasy fiction in which the gods, heroes, and myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you've never seen them before. When I'm not creating worlds or killing off characters, I wrangle honeybees to add a little adventure into my non-writing life.  Long Version:  Tammie Painter grew up in the creative world of Portland, Oregon, and she continues to call the City of Roses home. Although she spent years working as a chemist in a behavioral neuroscience research lab, she could never quite tame her passion for writing. Tammie has a knack for delving into and bringing life to history and mythology in her novels. Her fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired the Osteria Chronicles series.  The current titles in the six-book series include *The Trials of Hercules *The Voyage *The Maze *The Bonds of Osteria (coming soon) When she isn't (but probably should be) writing, Tammie can be found digging in her garden, planning her next travel adventure, creating art, or persuading her hive of backyard bees to share some of their honey with her.
