From the Egyptian artifact hiding in a small town basement in ‘House on Manager’s Row’, to the ghastly visitations in ‘The Bridge Home’, ‘A Christmas Wish’, and ‘Monster Under the Bed,’ this collection offers up twisted and suspenseful tales of monsters, ghosts, witchcraft, zombies, horrible people, and all the magic of the spaces between.

One year following the devastating attack by the 30 Minutes or Less Killer, Bella and her family are trying to move on with their lives. They’ve bought a new house out in the country, far away from the nightmare that Bella lived through. No one has heard from the 30 Minutes or Less Killer, no one knows if he’s gone underground, or moved far away — hiding and plotting his revenge on the one person to have survived his attacks. Even with all the mental and emotional scars, is one year enough time to start relaxing and hoping he’s gone for good? You can get hold of your copy of this second installment, here.
