Nickel Nightmares
Nickel Nightmares
The crisp autumn air calls to me, you know?Reminds me of chilly October nights, dancing lights behind leering pumpkin grins lined the streets as I ran about with friends. Dressed as ghouls and ghosts, we extorted neighbors for candy and raced about as my father chaperoned.By the end of the night, we'd be in our driveway with our haul of ill-gotten gains. Encircling a campfire, my father would start up my favorite tradition - telling scary stories.A tradition I hold sacred to this day, as do the other authors within this terrible tome.Follow along as we traverse a forest seemingly haunted by the ravenous specters of winters' past, through a harrowing EMT call that ends far grislier than one could ever fear, into the terrors a loving couple face when braving what should be familiar. With a final stop in a surreal dreamscape where fantasy and terror blend into one horrid and all-encompassing wave, you will have read four novella length pieces from four professional horror authors, allowing you to partake in their idea of what is both terrifying and intriguing enough to gather the attention of a thrill seeker.The whole journey will be split between tales by the ever lovely Chelsea Grinn, our host and narrator for this festive holiday storytelling. Endearingly insane, Chelsea has promised an in-depth look into the minds of the authors after each tale, in order for the reader to further understand some of what went into the story they just enjoyed.So, do as I did as a child and grab a soda and a fistful of candy, quiet down and take heed, for I have a few tales to tell this fine Hallow's Eve...
