Mists Of Papoose Pond is ready for your reading pleasure. A short, free sample from chapter one can be read below. All thirty-eight chapters are posted.

******

The mists come closer and closer to the cabin, and even though it sits some fifty yards from the pond's edge, the dancing droplets of condensation seemingly pirouette their way across the beach to where I'm sitting, first ankle high, then reaching mid-way up my chest. The cigarette smoke joins with the swirling fog and they cavort as one, creating a calming feeling massaging my unsettled mind.

Peaceful shapes dance all around me. I smile at ballerinas performing their amazing tiptoe jumps and landings, the mists opening and closing to accentuate their delicate, precise movements. I put my cigarette out, thinking I can go back to sleep, contentment putting me in the mood.

A sudden chill hits me before I can get to my feet, bone-chilling cold, causing my hands to turn blue instantly. The ballerinas' faces vanish, replaced by monstrous, billowing towers of inhuman shapes.

Substance comes from the distortion of the mists! Flesh and bone hover over me, smiling at me. No, not smiling - leering at me!

Brownish-yellow teeth, sharp and pointed, force their way into prominence when the creatures open their mouths, tongues lapping at miniscule lips, telling me where their next meal is coming from. Me! They want me!

******

This novel is loaded with horror, non-stop action, and monsters. Lots of monsters.

BLOODY BEACHES OF CHEYENNE - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/bloody-beaches-43619850

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Bloody Beaches of Cheyenne, by Blaze McRob, is a Vampire/rodeo clown short story that I believe you'll find most interesting. Here are the opening two paragraphs.

******

A warm breeze blows across the rodeo grounds, bringing the coppery taste of what I need to sustain myself to my tongue. Just a little longer and it will be dark. That will be my cue to spring into action.

The crowd is entering the stadium. This is PBR night, Professional Bull Riding, and the place is sold out. My little trailer contains everything I need to conceal myself during the day. My coffin is built to blend into the general shabby décor of a rodeo clown and appears to be nothing more than a long storage space on which my mattress and pillow sit. Of course, I have no use for the seeming resting place on top, but if anyone enters while I’m asleep, there is no way they would think to remove the mattress to see what’s under it.

******

Cheyenne, Wyoming loves their rodeo. However, not all rodeo clowns are created equal, are they?

Owl's Eye View Magazine - Issue #3, by Terri DelCampo, is chock-full of great articles for you to read and enjoy. Swooping Through The Years, From The Perch, On The WindSpirit, Screech On!, Macabre Mirth, and a tantalizing horror story Key Control, which shows the evils of over-striving for perfection are all included. I'll bet you've never heard of Owl Familiars. Terri explains them in this issue. I found her treatise on Native American flute lore to be fascinating. For fascinating horror with a different angle from the norm, read this great magazine. You'll be glad you did!

ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK: DARK MUSES, SPOKEN SILENCES - FROM FIRBOLG PUBLISHING

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FJF3WVK/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p2_i6 

One of the anthologies I have the honor of being published in is Enter At Your Own Risk: Dark Muses, Spoken Silences, from Firbolg Publishing. This was my first piece of Gothic fiction, and I'm rather proud of it. I write a tale based on Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat. My story, The Wife and the Witch, is written from the wife's point of view, a most challenging task for me. Dr. Alex Scully, the editor of this great tome, kept prodding me to dig down deeper, and so I did. I hope that everyone who reads this anthology gets caught up in the great writing of the great Gothic authors of old and new alike. There are many wonderful stories to read within.

Happy reading!

Blaze McRob

******

Some of the most enduring masterpieces of Gothic fiction are as intriguing for the stories they don’t tell as for those they do. The voices hidden in the wall of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat;” the secrets buried beneath the earth of Sleepy Hollow in Washington Irving’s legendary Headless Horseman tale; the dreams of a monster and an ancient book with a life of its own in H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu;” and stories that reveal Polidori’s hypnotic, archetypal Vampyre as far more than what he first appears to be. In Firbolg Publishing’s third volume in the Enter at Your Own Risk series, ten modern storytellers reimagine the mysterious characters lurking within four classics of Gothic literature. As you read the original stories, a sinister whisper drifts in on a cold chill. But there are other voices beneath the whisper. You can hear them crawling out of the growing darkness. Then the whispers become a scream...

With an introduction from acclaimed author Gary Braunbeck, Dark Muses, Spoken Silences invites you into the hidden shadows of four of the most famous dark fiction tales ever told.

Are you brave enough to enter?

"Highly recommended"

Gene O’Neill

Author of Taste of Tenderloin and The Confessions of St. Zach

“Audacious, innovative, shocking – a kaleidoscope (where all the colors are dark).”

Robert Dunbar

Author of The Pines and Willy

"I am blown away by the beauty, terror and imagination of this brilliant book."

Sandy DeLuca

Author of Manhattan Grimoire and Hell’s Door

******

Thank you, Sydney Leigh, for your very kind review.

Blaze McRob’s “The Wife and the Witch” is a clever reimagining of “The Black Cat”, told with a steady voice which is reminiscent of Poe without parroting it. His apparent ease with which he takes on the form of a female narrator lends itself to the emotional pull of this tale; he is successful in making us empathize fully with the protagonist’s loss of a loving companion: “He was my bastion of strength.”

SHONK - BY TERRI DELCAMPO

Shonk, by Terri DelCampo, is one of those stories that has you guessing right up until the end. Just when I thought I knew where the tale was taking me, I discovered I was wrong. But that's the way I like a good horror story. If everything is easily determined ahead of time, the excitement is lacking. Being pulled into a story is the way to go. Read this story, and you'll see what I mean.

THE LONG RUN TO FREEDOM - BY BLAZE MCROB

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

The Long Run To Freedom is a story of horror, war, and survival. True friendship goes beyond shared joys. Sometimes one must dig down deep: deeper than ever before.

****** 

Here's the opening paragraph to my short story:

I knew I would get out of this Hell trap. It was when, not if. One night, my chance came. Some kind of a commotion occurred not too far from the camp. I could hear people scurrying around everywhere. As soon as all the hubbub in the camp subsided, I went to the far end of the hut, opposite the door, and ran just as fast as I could, hitting the door so hard that it fell down onto the ground with me on top of it. That was my lucky day because the only guard left in the camp just happened to be on the other side of that door. With me and the door on top of him, it wasn't that difficult to neutralize him.

This story is dedicated to Jimmy. My best friend.

Flash In The Pan is Terri DelCampo's latest short story. I love how Terri keeps the reader more involved in the story with her styling of warnings throughout the tale, alerting the protagonists about things to do and not to do as the story progresses. She pulls this off well. Naturally, as I read the story, I was on the lookout for more clues to what was inevitable, but which actually wasn't. This brought about a paradox of facts and solutions to every twist and turn. Nothing is cast in stone in this story. This is a most intriguing tale.

Shredded is a rather offbeat ghost story of mine that involves the paranormal, as well as hard-core workouts in a gym. How do the two of them find a home together? Ah, the answer lies in the reading of the story. At one time, I was a personal trainer in many gyms, as well as a competitor in body-building competitions, and know my way around the mind set of what can happen when one goes to extremes.  

This story is one of over a hundred on my Patreon page.

NIGHT OPS, by Terri DelCampo is a total mind-fuck of a story. It is pure psychological horror the whole way. This is definitely one of my favorite stories that she has written. She holds nothing back. Just remember: some people are not to be trifled with. There will be consequences.
