There’s No Escape

Thrilled to have my story, “Just Like Grandmother” apart of this wonderful anthology!

Welcome. We're glad you're here.

Take a deep breath as we prepare to whisk you back to the 1920’s, the heyday of cinema and theater.

Picture yourself in a theater a century ago. Velvet curtains, plush seats. Ornate sconces line dark walls. The smell of popcorn coated in sticky butter permeates the air. Lights dim. Bodies line the stage, or a screen flickers to life. Film spools onto a spinning reel, and jittery images appear. Monsters and horrors come to life before your very eyes.

Have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if they decided they didn’t want to stay on the stage or screen? What if their creators were equally gruesome? What happens when abominations of imagination come to life?

The authors in this collection know what can happen, and they’re anxious to show you.

So, sit back, relax, and surrender to what’s lurking in the shadows.
