Tenebrosities Series

A haunting tale of a monster who lived inside mirrors, and the ghost he left behind when he died…   What would you do to get rid of an abusive ghost?   When Michael's father died, he left behind a grown-up family shattered by years of his broken, abusive, alcoholic behavior—and a legion of adoring fans who hung on every word of his stories.   They called him creative. But the truth was that Michael's father had the ability to violate the boundary between one side of the mirror and the other, traveling between reflections and watching, and interfering, with other people's private lives until there was little of the man left—only a monster.   Now the man is dead. But part of the monster has been left behind…

What makes the fae so terrifying is how subtle they are…   One foggy night, Lee Warnick waits for her dad to come home from the factory.

What's the matter, Jake? Chicken?   It's Halloween. Just over a month ago, Jake's brother Dave died in Afghanistan, killed by an IED bomb. Now Jake is going trick or treating, dressed like a solder. Dressed like his brother.   He decides to take the same route that he and his brother took, cutting through a junkyard, walking down a big hill, and scoring candy at the kind of neighborhood where the neighbors actually leave the lights on and don't pretend not to be home.   But something is waiting for him in the graveyard.   Is it the ghost of Jake's dead brother?   A creepy horror tale about what finds us when we're vulnerable, on Halloween.  

I offered her a ticket to Wonderland…   …but that ticket came with an unexected price.   Let me tell you this right now. I'm not a good person. So when I promise to meet someone at five a.m. in the morning outside our high school in a storm drain, please understand that I'm not doing it out of the goodness of my heart. I have a deal to make, a client to satisfy, and a serious case of boredom to get off my books.   Just because I don't know where the stuff in the vials I sell comes from, doesn't mean it won't get you where you're going:   Wonderland.   Care wasn't my friend or anything, just a girl who had a crush on me since third grade. It should have been a quick, easy deal, lucrative for me, and satisfying for her.   It wasn't.   Like I always say, tell someone they're special, make them believe it…and they're yours.   A short story about those who take advantage of innocence, and the illusion that as long as the customer is happy…there's no need to worry about doing anyone any harm.

Everyone inside will be safe.   No animals, no clowns—only acrobats and other performers, in what may be the last great spectacle that Dot and her mother will ever see.   Join them for a moment of wonder at the end of the world.
