 Speak Not the Words

Beyond our ken lies the black doorway, the bridge to the otherworlds.  There wait the ancient gods Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and Nyogtha. Blocked from our world, they send forth their minions, those who skulk in the shadows, hiding from the human race infesting what was once their masters’ world.

Orifices gnash in anticipation of sucking flesh and blood. Waiting for the day when the book is found, and the Old Ones walk again, destroying sanity and bringing death to mankind.

In the eternal darkness of their horrific triumph they will roam the Earth once again.

Penetration Hurts

Penetration hurts. That’s the lesson I teach my johns. Like yesterday. This middle-aged mech-junkie comes in. Says he wants ‘something new.’ I hooked into his brain and generated a four-way orgy, but it wasn’t enough. So I got physical, gave him the real thing. He screamed when he felt the fifteen-centimeter appendage slide into his rectum. Called me a freak. They’re all the same. They all want something new but then they can’t handle it. That’s okay. In two weeks he’ll find out what something new really means. Hope he likes being a mother.

Who’s the freak now?

Spaceport Krishnas

It was Tad’s first trip off-planet. The plan was to start in the main lounge. Every port has one. We grabbed our duffels and that’s when we realized he was missing.

“I warned him to stay close,” McGuire said. “This ain’t no place for a preacher’s son.”

That’s when we saw the them, handing out their pamphlets. Damn Condolians. You’ve probably seen ‘em too, preaching to anyone who walks by. Don’t matter if you’re on Earth or Milos 7.

I got a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Sure enough, McGuire spotted Tad’s leg sticking from one’s belly sac.

Religious freedom. Ain’t it great?

Happy Anniversary

Covered in mold and clotted soil, the skeletal hand burst from the ground and grabbed Julia. As she screamed in horror, Jonathan swung a wine bottle at the inhuman creature pulling itself from the earth. In return, the undead thing’s yellowed finger bones clawed deep furrows across Jonathan’s face, removing an eye in the process. Jonathan fell back, howling n agony. Rotten, black teeth bit deeply into Julia’s throat, silencing her cries. The revenant pulled Julia’s body back into the hidden grave she and Jonathan had dug last year.

The thing that had once been Julia’s husband began to feed.

When the Lights Go Out

Darkness is our time. We emerge from the shadows, hiding ourselves from the human race infesting the world that once was ours. Orifices gnash in anticipation of sucking flesh and blood. Waiting for the day when the book is found and the Old Ones return. In the eternal darkness of their horrific triumph we will roam the Earth once again.

Friends Unseen

 Catherine Cavendish is the author of  several novels and novellas, including The Devil's Serenade, Dark Avenging Angel, Saving Grace Devine, and The Pendle Curse. Today she's here to talk about some rather unsettling imaginary friends. When you were growing up, did you have an imaginary friend? Did they seem real to you? Maybe sort-of-real. You could talk to them, imagine their responses, play with them - but you probably kept the ‘relationship’ within certain boundaries, however young you were. In my case, I invented an entire family of siblings – three sisters (two older, one a few years younger) and an older brother who looked out for us girls. Being an only child, I found them comforting, and fun, but I never imagined them to be real. They, in turn, kept themselves firmly lodged in my own mind and never attempted to cross any boundary into the real world. In my novel, The Devil’s Serenade, my central character also had an imaginary family when she was a chil...

VAMPIRES: LOVE & VIOLENCE - guest blog by Nancy Kilpatrick

VAMPIRES: LOVE & VIOLENCE Nancy Kilpatrick  Today's blog features a special guest appearance by acclaimed author and editor, Nancy Kilpatrick, who's written more than 20 novels in the horror, supernatural, and paranormal genres, edited 15 anthologies, and been recognized by Fangoria as "Canada's answer to Anne Rice."  She's best known for her vampire novels and short stories, including her latest, Savagery of the Rebel King , which comes out this month. I've been a fan of hers for a long time, and I'm more than happy to have her with us today talking about those sexy, scary creatures of the night, vampires !  **************   I've written and read way more vampire books than any mortal likely should.  The Undead have always fascinated me. They look like us, and now the modern vampire (unlike their dirtier grave-dwelling ancestors) smells like us. They sit at the next table at chic eateries and on one of the plastic seats at ...

Hark! The Herald Angels Scream - a review

So, I recently finished reading the holiday-themed horror anthology Hark! The Herald Angels Scream , edited by Christopher Golden and published through Blumhouse Books. As you can probably deduce, the antho's theme is holiday-oriented stories. Some involve Christmas, some Yule, and some just the general winter season of December. All of them have a dark core, and the stories range from outright horror scares to subtle suspense, with more than a few falling in the 'weird fiction' category. The TOC includes some of the genre's biggest names (Joe R. Lansdale, Sarah Pinborough, Jonathan Maberry, Kelley Armstrong, Josh Malerman) along with several acclaimed authors who aren't in the public eye but should be. My favorites in the anthology are "Mistletoe and Holly" by James A. Moore (a gleefully twisted take on the old adage of be careful what you wish for), "Love Me" by Thomas E. Sniegoski (a poignant example of how trying to do the right thing...
