Dismember

Bruce has lost everyone he ever cared about-even his cat. Now he thinks he's finally alone in the house, but something is about to come clawing its way out of the plumbing to prove him wrong. What they're saying about Down the Drain: "Pyle's tight little monster tale packs a nasty wallop." -Michael Louis Calvillo, author of I Will Rise and As Fate Would Have It "Horror should be fun. Scary, of course...but above all, it should be fun. Too many people seem to have forgotten that. Well, Daniel Pyle has not forgotten. With his novella, Down the Drain, Pyle has crafted a tale that evokes all the eye-popping strangeness and excitement that got me into horror in the first place. I loved it, and I can guarantee you'll never look at your bathtub the same again." -Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

The Gate - 13 Tales of Isolation and Despair

A raging snowstorm has stranded Tess and Warren in their mountain home with no power and little heat. When an accident leaves Tess coughing up pools of blood, Warren has no choice but to brave the storm in search for help. He's afraid he'll be too late. But what he should be afraid of are the creatures slinking through the blizzard and watching his every move.

Freeze

Floods. Earthquakes. Tornados. Asteroids. Nature can be vicious. But when you combine natural disasters with the very unnatural imaginations of the authors in this collection, you get terrors worse than anything Mother Nature has ever thrown at us, forays into nightmarish worlds that make a hurricane look like a light summer breeze. Join Scott Nicholson, William Meikle, Daniel Pyle, Robert J. Duperre, Danielle Bourdon, Keith Gouveia, Ruth Francisco, J.A. Titus, and Robin Morris for nine horrific tales that will leave you cringing, gasping, and so scared of the outdoors you'll never want to leave your house again.
