"The six tales in The October Society reflect the six characters who tell them. From haunted drive-ins to Halloween night, Robertson gives us stories that are fun, enchanting, and everything in between. More than that, he gives us a cast of characters that we can all relate to in some way." - Kelly Brocklehurst (editor of Welcome to the Funhouse). "A weird and whimsical collection of heartfelt horror stories that never fail to entertain or thrill." - Jamie Stewart (author of I Hear The Clattering of the Keys and Other Fever Dreams). "The writing is as clear and descriptive as seeing the scenes unfold in front of you on TV." - curiosityboughtthebook.com. Halloween approaches, and The October Society gathers. They come to share their stories. Tales of dark magic and crooked lies. Of tragic pasts and wicked cruelty. Of misguided misadventure and sinister pranks... Collected here are the first six episodes of the spookiest show that never was. A series only found in the static between channels, that can only be watched on broken TVs in dusty attics and damp basements. Tune in, if you can, because the author of My Zombie Sweetheart welcomes you to The October Society.

Season One

The October Society

Warning! This Book Contains Scenes of Extreme Clownage and Gore. Discretion is Advised. "The book reads like the work of a mad scientist who wants nothing more than to show the world why he loves B-movie horror." - Damien Casey, author of Coffin Dodgers, Pup and Hot Pink Satanism. "Fast paced with an compelling plot, violent scenes of gore that were played off to be amusing and extremely colorful. Three words I can use to sum up this tale: comedic, brutal and thrilling!" H. Everend, author of Cursed Legacy and The Summoning. The book you are about to read is an account of the tragedy that occurred at the reopening of Bonkin's Bonanza one day in the summer of 1989. Some came looking for fun, like Candy Barton and her best friend, Leigh. Others, like Rocky Rhodes and Sully Sullivan, came looking for a second chance. Instead, they would find a twisted, funfetti nightmare. For many of the thrill-seekers and families visiting Bonkin's Bonanza, that day would be their last. And the events that unfolded would go on to become infamously known as The Cotton Candy Massacre.

Sparks in the Dark is an anthology of fictional short stories. Sit back and enter a world where the ties of family are put to the test; where a coffee shop conversation turns to the future of mankind; where a television show may be a little too real; and where a young man may be just a little too eager to burn rubber on the road. There's these and many others that will make you laugh, make you cry and throw chills down your spine. Caution: Due to the extreme possibility that these stories may induce goosebumps, you're advised to read during sunlight, surrounded by many people. Enjoy!
