Everyone alive today carries a little piece of her in our mitochondria.
In Asia, humans living on the steppes tamed wild horses, eventually domesticating them sufficiently to ride o3 months ago Read more -

Blog postREVIEW OF THE COSTUMER BY KATHLEEN - "It's New Year's Eve, the last of the 1980's and Brice Westwood has decided it's the perfect time to settle all scores.

Blog postREVIEW OF THE MERCHANDISER BY DEBI W - “This horror story is casted [SIC] with a crazy man (you figure that out quickly with the hints the author gives early on), the bully boss, snarky son, a thief (allegedly) also posing as a love interest to more than one. Things sound very promising for Fred, the merchandiser, and mostly going right until disaster hits his prize mannequin and Fred has to improvise to finish his now macabre vision.

Titles By Chad Schimke
Through these pages roam werewolves, serial killers, a handful of ghosts, plenty of zombies, Cthulhu cultists, mad scientists, and a pair of conjoined twins.
In November 2018, fire broke out on Camp Creek Road and raced through Butte County, California. By the time the fire was extinguished, the town of Paradise had been scoured from the map. Nearly 100 people died. Damage ran to an estimated $16 billion. The disaster has been named the Camp Fire, in memory of its place of origin. The horror writers of Northern California rallied to raise money for the survivors.
Tales for the Camp Fire ranges from fairytale to science fiction, from psychological terror to magical realism, from splatterpunk to black humor, all rounded out by a messed-up post-apocalyptic cookbook. All profits from the sale of this anthology will be donated to Camp Fire relief and recovery efforts.
"[A] brilliant collection of truly creepy tales by horror's hottest voices! Dark, funny, heartbreaking, and bizarre. Highly recommended!"
--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Glimpse
