Just In Time For Halloween
I’ve always said I do not write horror stories, but people have told me that one of my anthologies was downright creepy. Twisted Tales From The Northwest contains most of the stories I wrote while living in the Northwest. I’ll plead guilty to making these tales dark and gloomy like the skies that covered the Earth most of the time. Our house was nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Si blocked our view of the rising sun. Evening comes early in that portion of the northwest. One year I swear I did not see the sun for nine months.
Many of the communities were still the old time logger towns built around the huge logging companies that once supplied the nation with wood. One of those companies was still going strong, but their towns and housing were by then privately owned. The forests changed even more while we were there. Where we once went mushroom hunting was closed off to the public.
These tales can be your own visit to the Northwest where you will meet the people who live, work, and exist there. Along the way you'll find humor as Good Sam tries to return a time traveler to his wife. Of course, the rain plays a huge part in that story.
There is a murder mystery set in a town that has now become an artsy place for tourists. There is also a depressing sea town ruled by an ancient deity. The town people even have their own customs when it comes to tragedy and burials. Warning, strangers are not welcomed.
Dark elves live there too. They came with the Swedish immigrants. Be very careful if you meet one. For if you answer, “Yes,” to one of their questions, you will be in their power.
Vampires like the dark, gloomy skies and can make the area their home. One will have a perplexing problem.
You’ll also take a brief visit into the future where other beings inhabit our Earth. What is it these Others want?
Some of the people will struggle to survive, others live only to help the other person, and one couple tries to remodel an old, neglected house. But they should be careful... for the something hungry dwells below their basement.
This Halloween read is available right now for a mere $.99 at Amazon.
