Many summers ago, an evil presence known as a Bloodan visited Camp Silverway, a peaceful summer camp for teenage girls, and nearly killed a young girl named Shelly. Mary Thompson, a girl on a bunk bed near Shelly, watched as the creature made from blood and darkness, began to sink into Shelly and begin to feed. Through tears and cloudy vision, she also saw her friend rescued by a stranger in a black cape, with blue fire blasting from his hand. Never forgetting that night, Mary was tormented for years by the memory of what she saw, and now, twenty-two years later, she has returned to Camp Silverway as a camp counselor, trying to face her fear. However, what starts out as a fun summer soon comes to an end when not one, but several Bloodans return to the camp and begin killing again. As before, the man in the black cape, Tarek, reappears, yet he hasn't aged a day since he rescued Shelly long ago. Shock upon shock ensues as Mary learns not only where the creatures and her hero come from, but also when. The Bloodans enclose the camp in a liquid red dome made of blood, and as everyone around her gets killed and the monsters multiply, Mary, her friend Sarah, and Tarek are left with no place to go. Except for maybe one. What starts as a simple horror tale soon turns into a spellbinding saga as the story takes you on a journey you have never experienced before, stretching along the Strands of Time, with life hanging by a thread.

A Red Dark Night

Fuchs, A.P.

Some moments come along and your world--your life--changes. Something shifts inside and everything's the same yet somehow different. Sometimes  someone comes into your life and helps you to breathe for the first time, to think with clarity and to give you truth and joy.Often, we never see it coming. But it also happens when we need it the most and, usually, when we don't realize we need it.For  Joseph Bailey, life has come to a standstill; existence, living, call it what you will, have stopped moving, stopped flowing, stopped growing.  Those he knew while growing up seemed to have gone down the right path,  creating a so-called normal life. He's not sure if he followed.Spending  lonely nights writing comic book scripts and hazy afternoons watching cartoons brings him to his knees, and he needs something--maybe even someone--more. One Friday, while at a coffee shop working on a new comic script, Joseph is interrupted when a quirky girl with long black hair and smooth-as-marble gray eyes sits down across from him, seeking sanctuary from her controlling boyfriend, Dan.Her name is April.All  seems under control even when Dan follows her in to the coffee shop, looking to patch things up. At least, that's what was supposed to have happened. Once Dan leaves, Joseph figures his work is done and April will be on her way, never to be seen again. Instead, she stays, removes her sweater and orders an apple cider. Just then something slips inside Joseph, something good, right and pure.Their weekend begins.From  a quiet night in an old railway car to seeking the undertones of humanity at the art gallery, to bringing to light the tender commonalities that we as humans share, April is a story of how a simple chance meeting can hold you and protect you, and give you what the human  heart is continuously after--Hope.

Contemporary

In the pages of this book lurk many man-eating creatures. Some are zombies, returned from death to eat the flesh and brains of the living. Some are ordinary animals, no longer content to linger at the bottom of the food chain. Some are were-creatures; humans able to assume animal form, and oh-so-very hungry when they do... SMALL BITES presents nearly 200 horrific stories, all told in a mere 500 words or less. Their tones range from the subtle to the extreme, from the humorous to the erotic. There is something here to satisfy the taste of any horror-lover's palate. Here, well-established authors sit side-by-side with up & coming stars of the small press and new comers seeing their very first stories in print. Over 100 writers rose to the challenge of writing scary tales using only a handful of carefully chosen words. This is horror stripped down to its bare bones, without an ounce of fat. These tales bite fast and they bite deep. And now, they're ready to sink their teeth into you... Proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to the medical fund established for esteemed horror writer CHARLES L. GRANT, who suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Raging Horromones

First published in 1898, The War of the Worlds was, and remains, one of H.G. Wells's finest works. Forty years later, a radio broadcast from Wells's tale fooled thousands into thinking the East Coast had fallen victim to Martian attack. When a small cylinder crashes just outside London, onlookers are not prepared for what is about to be unleashed. Shortly after the onslaught begins, Earth fights back but is quickly brushed aside as the Martians destroy everything in their path. Soon London is evacuated and the hope mankind survives disappears. ...at the turn of the century and the mentalities of society back then, no one had entertained the idea of an extraterrestrial invasion before. Period. - Nicholas Grabowsky, from his introduction

The Invisible Man

One wintry day, a stranger enters the town of Iping. He is clad from head to foot; no one sees his face. Soon after his arrival, bizarre events occur that cannot be explained. The violence and terror begins. "...stripping the work down to its bare bones...one will admit that the very concept itself is one of land marked proportions draped layer after compelling layer of ideology and vision which has been the subject of analysis and inspiration for the best of us ever since." - Nicholas Grabowsky, from his introduction

Love to solve mysteries? Welcome to our contest for readers. These nine intriguing stories about secrets will test your skills as sleuths. The question: Are our stories based on fact or are they purely fiction? Our lips are sealed, but if you correctly guess which are true and which are not, you can win a signed copy of another book written by each of the authors, plus a free copy of Secrets II, due for release April 1, 2006. Additional contests will run through 2010, with this volume in 2006 and 2007, and in yearly sequels. Ready to take up the challenge? Good. Prepare to be entertained and then send us your entry. Good luck! According to the NEA, fewer Americans are reading books. We, authors from across the United States and Canada, intend to change that. How? Everyone loves a juicy secret so we wrote thrilling stories on that enticing theme. Life and death, love and hate, good and evil, cover these pages, as they do in real life. With words, we painted poignant pictures and breathed life into engaging characters, some worthy of admiration, some deserving of contempt. To lure folks into our world of words, we're also offering a nice bribe. Once there, we hope to get everyone hooked on books!
