Nineteen twisted tales from a vibrant, online community of horror enthusiasts! What’s HorrorTube? A creepy, new carnival ride combining a water slide park with a haunted funhouse? Not quite, although that sounds like a blast. A subset of BookTube, HorrorTube is an online community of horror enthusiasts who regularly post YouTube videos about horror-related topics, including books, films, and fiction writing. Some of the writers included in this anthology cover horror exclusively. You’ll find them posting creepy photos on Instagram or waxing poetic about the seventies drive-in flick that kept them up all night. Some read widely, only delving into the horror genre occasionally. All are passionate about books and writing. Joined together by this vibrant, online community of readers and writers, these nineteen authors bring you scary stories from all parts of the globe, proving that fear is universal. Local Haunts has taken the horror BookTube community’s global influence and shrunk it down into one village of horror and mayhem you’ll not soon forget. Inside these pages are frightening stories from around the globe, telling tales of haunts, monsters, and other terrible things local to each author’s place of residence. Within these pages you’ll find terrifying tales from North America, my own included, joined by terrible happenings in the Australian bushlands, ghosts haunting an old Greek mansion, an abandoned Vietnamese hospital, and a creepy museum, among many other eldritch encounters.

Local Haunts: a HorrorTube Anthology

Jemima was the first to notice the shape out on the scorching plains. For as long as she could remember her small community had scratched a living on the edge of the vast desert, cut off from a world which may have already died. But now something was moving out there, getting closer. The stranger's arrival brings change. Jemima comes to know him as the Storyteller, and what he shares with her will affect her life in subtle and striking ways. Stories of strange worlds, dark fairy tales and glimpses beyond the veil. The story of Jemima's life. The stories people tell themselves. They all lead to the well at the end of the world.
