From a schoolgirl who wreaks death and destruction on her bullies via a magical ceremony, a man-eating siren who picks the wrong kind of soul to suck, a worker at a factory where cheese is made by milking humanoid creatures, a mobster who finds enlightenment through the resurrection of an assassinated village mayor, and a man who must wrestle for the attentions of his beloved with a mythical creature, the stories in Dark Lane Anthology: Volume Six take the reader through a range of bizarre and disturbing scenarios.But these tales are not merely intended to scare or unsettle. The characters in these pages learn things about themselves through their surreal and otherworldly experiences: how to love, how to forgive, how to grieve, how to fight, and, of course, how to protect yourself when confronted with a satanic rhinoceros in the menswear section at Debenhams.

Dark Lane Anthology: Volume Six

Sometimes people laugh when theyÕre scared. Sometimes people scream when they laugh. We at Dark Lane Books will, of course, leave it up to the reader to decide what the correct response is to the stories contained in out seventh anthology. Matthew M. Bartlett sets the woozy tone with his short story, Baal Protects the King. Beyond that the reader is, we hope, left not knowing what to expect from these twenty tales. There will be fear, sure, and there will be laughs. There will be war-torn battlefields, animal enclosures, deep forests, windswept moors, and fantastical lands not yet mapped. Welcome.

Dark Lane Anthology: Volume Five

In his essay “Supernatural Horror in Literature,” H.P. Lovecraft famously noted that “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Dark Hall Press is proud to present our Cosmic Horror Anthology, ten tales of nameless terror from some of the most exciting voices in the field. It’s all here, from stories of subtle, invasive menace to tales of full-fledged cyclopean horrors; from alien worlds to the yawning holes in perception where strange forces lurk; where nature takes on a terrifying sentience and one is not safe even in dreams. We at Dark Hall invite you to join us in celebration of the modern weird tale, to cast off the veil of reason and see the universe for what it truly is – frightening and uncontrollable.
