The Sick & Sombre Tales of Sinister Town

By Catherine Bell

Through the overgrown field, over broken down fence,
Is the path to the true place where horrors commence.
To the place of the fallen, where the forgotten dwell,
Just take a sharp left at the old haunted well.
Follow the arm of the gnarled twisted tree,
And you’ll find Sinister Town, an unfortunate melee.
There are tales from this place that will make your ears bleed.
Refuse to turn back, and on you they will feed.

A collection of horrifying short stories straight from the depths of Sinister Town

Through the overgrown field, over broken down fence,

Is the path to the true place where horrors commence.

To the place of the fallen, where the forgotten dwell,

Just take a sharp left at the old haunted well.
