About this ebook
Welcome to Red Heights. A town with a killer reputation... Seriously.
Monsters. Homicidal maniacs. A killer sock monkey that never stops laughing. A whole gang of nightmares await your arrival with bloody, open arms.
With LESSONS V: THE TERRIBLE TOWN AND OTHER MORBID DRABBLES, you’ll find forty short tales, each only a hundred words long. Some will make you giggle. Others might make you want to sleep with the lights on.
Either way, your stay at Red Heights will be a memorable one. There’s a gravestone with your name on it.
Includes a bonus drabble from author David McAfee, never before published.
