Thrillers & Chillers

No vampires No werewolves No boogeymen in these pages. For my readers who want stories with thrills, chills, and surprise endings, but not so horrific to keep them from a good night's sleep, I have selected thirty stories from my "Black As Night" and "Shivers and other nightmares" compilations to rock your world without the hairy monsters. Selections include: Genie In the Bottle: Three college friends find a strange bottle in the surf and make a wish that comes with a price. Dominance: The Simmons family encounters an escaped madman on a camping trip in the Adirondacks. Drip. Drip. Drip. Rasgus is having trouble with a leaky faucet in Times Square on New Years Eve. A Shortcut Through the Woods: Mason hears a gun shot in the black woods while taking a shortcut home. Hangman's Overlook: A scam artist wagers $800 he will spend the night on Hangman's Overlook and live. Surprise Surprise : Jane has arranged a surprise birthday party for her boss at his funeral parlor. Cyclops: The final show at the end of the fairgrounds is one Jed Norman will never forget. Street Cinderwine: Thomas believes the city is much more dangerous at night than a country road. The Initiation: The fraternity brothers have planned a Hell night to top all Hell nights. Twenty-one others.
