Kids Horror

In 1983, Angie, Jenny, and David are watching MTV, riding bikes, and looking forward to their summer vacation before they start junior high school. Lincoln, Nebraska, is a pretty quiet place to grow up, and when the kids take off at 5:00 a.m. to deliver newspapers on Jenny’s route, they aren’t expecting trouble. So when a creature straight out of a horror movie appears, the kids are forced to draw on their wits, their strengths, and most of all their friendship to survive.

Sit back and catch a laugh as two writers and their very different worlds of horror and comic books collide and turn reality on it's ear.

Have you crossed paths with the creature who likes to eat children? If your answer is no, then you are one lucky kid. Because there is a creature lurking. It began in your nightmares. But now, it's real. It has no name. And it likes to eat children!

In the style of Poe and Seuss, these five vivid yet dark and twisted fables will send shivers down your spine. "Gwendolyn Witch" has a magic crystal that loses its clarity. "The Tooth Wraith" seeps into your bedroom window at night searching for cavities. "The Ghost of the Canyon" is the unsettled spirit of a girl from long ago. "The Playmate" is an unseen child, heard yet never found. In "Gnomes G'Lee", gruesome creatures dead set on defending their garden.

Many rumors and stories surround the Forgotten Cemetery. Rachael is a young girl who dwells in quiet hillbilly community. She decides to visit the cemetery on one dark evening alone. Her hope of fame and fortune fuels her imagination. She must discover if the legend is true or just a made-up story told to frighten the children of the community. Soon Rachael will know the truth.

These stories are sure to open your "mind's eye" and engulf your senses of things unseen...and unknown. Imagination is a wonderful thing, and I encourage you to let yours loose and create pockets of wonder or places of escape: happy places in the light of day, or as in these stories, on the slightly darker side.
