"Miracle's imagination will transport you to different worlds. She's a maestro of storytelling. I revel in her tales, and admire her devotion to our art." Ian Sputnik, Editor in Chief, Sanitarium Magazine
WAKE "I almost ate you before dawn... Lucky, lucky girl... with the red cape..."
CHASER "You never believed in any of my stories--you always laughed... Let's see if you believe me, now!" Warm saliva cascaded down my neck.
Find yourself a cozy spot, make sure all your doors are locked. Open FRIGHT BITES. Who or what will you encounter? Could it be Old Lady Canes, a shadow twister, or Cordelia? Be careful what lurks in the dark... you never know what's watching you and waiting. Immerse yourself in twenty-nine creeptastic tales from the author of the Doll Trilogy and Boundless.
I've been a fan of Ms. Miracle Austin for many years now and I think Fright Bites is my favorite collection of hers to date! As someone who grew up reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, this anthology evoked all the same thrills, chills, and emotions! A few of the stories, I'm not going to lie to you, will haunt me at night. And in my nightmares.
Every time I read Ms. Austin's work, I'm reminded of the creative mastermind she truly is. Each story is beautifully and terrifyingly well thought out and well composed with vivid characters and rich histories and myths. I really hope Stephen King gets the chance to read this collection because many of the stories reminded me of his work. Like Mr. King, Ms. Austin is a true master of the modern horror genre and I can't wait to read her next collection.
