Remember those Alvin Schwartz horror anthologies from the 90s? Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and others like it?
Well, there’s a tribute anthology coming out this fall, titled Don’t Turn Out the Lights, and yours truly is a part of it!
My short horror tale “Copy and Paste Kill” will be part of the anthology, which lands on September 1, 2020!
Here’s the official scoop:
Featuring stories from R.L. Stine and Madeleine Roux, this middle grade horror anthology, curated by New York Times best-selling author and master of macabre Jonathan Maberry, is a chilling tribute to Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Flesh-hungry ogres? Brains full of spiders? Haunted houses you can’t escape? This collection of 35 terrifying stories from the Horror Writers Association has it all, including ghastly illustrations from Iris Compiet that will absolutely chill listeners to the bone.
So turn off your lamps, click on your flashlights, and prepare – if you dare – to be utterly spooked!
