A
single candle burned bright against the swallowing darkness, illuminating an
old sunken tomb that had been liberated by an old woman, swathed in black. She
moved with ethereal grace as she pulled a stool up to a large stone coffin,
wiping away the dust with a dirty rag, before laying out a partially built doll
on the clammy stone surface.
Horror and Fantasy pieces that evolve and grow into full blown stories, all with you along for the ride.

Of Angelic Dreams
Christopher
watched on with cold disdain as the serum was injected into the twelfth
soldier, their name and rank taken down by a short man in a lab coat. The glass
separating them allowed Christopher a chance to look over the nervous looking
cadets, who had all been told this was to prevent an outbreak of Spanish Flu
from spreading through the Nazi ranks. He gave a half smile as a shirtless
shoulder smacked one of his comrades on the shoulder, pulling himself up to a
top bunk where he laid himself out.

Haunting of the Bell House, Chapter One
Eve
danced up and down like a maniac, screaming at the top of her lungs as she
clutched the letter and envelope in her hand to her chest. With her clunky Doc
Martens and black tights, topped off by a pleated skirt and corset, she made
for one interesting sight by the time William and Bradley came up to see what
the fuss was about.
Guillermo Del Toro: A True Horror Artist
Guillermo
Del Toro is a rare crafter of horror and fantasy that has touched upon multiple
forms of media, from cinema to novels, and just this year to television. Well
known for his work on the fantasy film Pan’s
Labyrinth, he was also instrumental in the Hellboy movie series, as well as
the recent science fiction film Pacific
Rim which grossed some $410 million in the box offices worldwide. Quoted as
having said his latest film to be his most immodest work and that it was just
him “being a big kid,” one can only wonder what his upcoming work will be like,
when compared to his earlier career in horror.

The Exorcism of William Moresly, Prologue Part Two
“Euthanasia!
What in the hell are you thinking Thomas, we don’t condone such behavior!”
Hennessy had all but yelled through the phone.
“But
nothing seems to help! We’ve tried several exorcisms, therapy, various rounds
of medication… while the young man is himself they seem to help, but when it
takes over they have no effect on it.”

Demonic Visions Three Paperback
Demonic Visions Three is now in paperback so for those of you sans kindle you can still drop a few bucks for some good reads. The proof is in the pudding, as it were, that these books are enjoyed by many as we are, at this time, #53 in the Kindle store for anthologies. May not sound like much, but we are this close to being in the top 50. Would be cool if we broke that!

Run, Part One
Kris
ran, baby held tight to her chest, looking over her shoulder every few seconds
to see if it was still following her. A long howl into the night air, followed
by an echoing cry of wolves in the distance, made her double her pace as she
ran through the underbrush, her dress tearing as briars and thorns tore at her
exposed legs. Boots going up to mid-calf protected her from the worst that
Worley Wood had to offer, but the close knotty oaks growing almost over each
other made for a difficult path to forge.

Demonic Visions Three!
The third installment of Demonic Visions with a brand new terror-tale from yours truly, never before read except for a few editors. A nasty short story about new life, and death. Of science, and of failed experiments... a story I like to call Subject Eighty-One. Go on over and have a read, there are plenty of other stories to make it worth your while!
