“Everything had become so complicated.”

After losing his fiancée Jenna in a tragic accident, Jeremy Dillon expresses his reluctance to move on as he drowns his sorrows at his buddy Matt’s bar. A stranger overhears Jeremy’s bitch-ass whining and hands him the business card of an enigmatic figure known as The Dollmaker. Desperate and unable to cope with his real life loss, Jeremy spends $250,000 for an artificially intelligent android that bears an uncanny resemblance to his late fiancée. “The Doll”, however, may prove to be more trouble than it’s worth - when FBI agents show up at Jeremy’s home.

“In Hell, Lewis was finally confronting his own demons in devil form.”

Haven’t you ever heard of a Jersey Devil? A gambler down on his luck, as well as fuel for his jeep, stops at a general store in Abe’s Hat for directions to a gas station. He gets more than he bargained for, when a couple of Pineys running the store turn out to be much more than just a couple of hillbilly cousins living in South Jersey. “The Pineys Book 1: My Cousin, the Piney” is a spoofy horror story derived from the legend of Mother Leeds, and is filled with adult humor coupled with action packed fun for the whole Galloway family.

“How much can we cut before there’s nothing left?”

For many people, their identity is the only thing that keeps them grounded in reality. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what an identity is? Is your identity a job, a hobby, or some combination of social/economic status? Is your identity founded upon a collection of biological facts proven by science? Is your identity a set of preconceived notions based upon personal beliefs, ideology, or cultural background? What happens when what you’ve internalized as your “identity” becomes threatened by external forces? Do you lose yourself? Do you lose touch with reality? …Or worse? “The Dead Inside” features thirty different writers within the pages of this horror anthology published by Dark Dispatch.

“I know what it feels like when two irreconcilable truths collide.”

There is no rest for the wicked when science and religion clash like particles smashed inside a large hadron collider, in this sci-fi horror novella by Dane Cobain. Alleged angel sightings grab the attention of Father Montgomery, who notices the disappearance of parishioners from his church. After his close friend Robert Jones has a close encounter with the ominous angelic beings, Father Montgomery is forced to face the ghosts of his past as the two of them face-off against the entities that are plaguing humanity. Surely the end is nigh if the sins of mankind cannot be reconciled by intervening with the divine.
