Fear resides in the soul.
A welcoming widow with a twisted appetite; a war-time evil lurking behind the face of a child; a father’s love gone horribly wrong; a deadly government solution; a new job with a demonic pay scale; a woman trapped in a mysterious house with no memory of who she is or how she got there. These are a mere glimpse of the terrors that lie in wait in this collection of horror short stories, sure to grip the psyche and torment the soul.

Where can you find Shannon?
To join in celebrating her newest release, Shannon has asked us to post about 1 of the following
1. Your favorite urban legend
2. Your favorite old wives' tale
3. Something scary that occurred in real life and taught you an important lesson
As many of you know I am a wimp. Before I even entered school, my parents had taken me to a doctor to find out why I had such debilitating nightmares. His answer was that I had an extra-vivid imagination. Apparently I still do...
One of the urban legends that gave me nightmares for many years was about the gulley in our backyard. It extended the length of the street and then turned a corner and travelled three more streets.
Right up to the local jail.
Streets had been built over sections of the gulley and there were culverts in many sections to help with drainage.
Perfect for escaping criminals.
When we found scraps of clothing one day, an older kid in the neighbourhood told us the tale of Walter's Ghost. How the man had been jailed for slicing up kids. He'd escaped and his bones had been discovered "right there" - with "right there" being less than 100 metres from our back door.
Didn't sleep well that night. Or the next, or the next...
How about you? Any intriguing urban legends involving your neighbourhood?
Anyone else looking forward to Shannon's tales? My copy's waiting on my Kindle ... to be read in the mornings 😃
