Description
"This homage to internet urban legends, horror movies, and creepypasta captures the reader from page one and doesn't let them go."-Rafael Marmol, author of If Hell Is What You Want
Are you ready to lose sleep tonight? This collection of terrifying tales will ensure that you do!
The Paper Mache Man, an urban legend come to life, stalks two teens obsessed with finding something truly scary. A man responds to an online ad looking for people to be hunted for sport. Every Halloween, a mysterious bowl of candy appears in front of an abandoned house with a sign that reads "Take One". A police officer is hunted through a nightmarish abandoned factory by a sadistic pig-human monster. When a group of children brings a magical snowman to life, they discover he is no jolly happy soul. A con artist confronts real terror in a house cleansing gone terribly wrong.
These tales and others will have you questioning the things you see, flinching at the things you hear, and wondering if you really did lock the doors.
"Perfectly paced stories that are unique and downright terrifying."-Blair Daniels, author of Don't Scream, Blood Twins, and Attention Shoppers
"Pullins is carefully crafting a new generation of modern horror through stories... While so many contemporary horror authors work safely on the beaten paths, Pullins works to take you to the darkest corners of your mind."-Ryan Major, author of I've Done This Before
