ISOLATION
Being alone, it's something that most of us feel at one time or another. Isolation and the sense of being separated from the rest of the world is one of the most terrifying of emotions for many of us. The terror of being alone is embedded into our makeup from the dawn of time and mankind's entry into the world.
This collection of stories speaks to the many facets of isolation, of being alone and what it does to us. The horrors that can spring out of that darkness we are warned to not venture into is as infinite as the darkness itself.
Includes my story FRANCIS plus new fiction from TL Barrett, Charles A Muir, Ricky Massengale, Georgina Morales, Matt Kurtz, Tiffany Wilson, Kenneth W Cain, Alex Azar, and AA Garrison.

THE POWER OF LUCK.
Your luck can change in an instant. A flip of a coin can ruin a life, or change it for the better. But is luck real? A random blip in the space time continuum? The wrath or favor of a higher power? Is it magic? Is it just a matter of numbers and probability? Can it be controlled? Luck is elusive, a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Luck is Relative. Good luck. Bad luck. Hard luck. Your luck can run out, or you can luck out. Is luck truly a lady?
TAKE A CHANCE... With these thirteen tales of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and everything in between as talented writers from every conceivable genre weave tales of luck. What it means to them, and more importantly, the world at large. Tales by Trent Zelazny, Jessica McHugh, Matt Schiariti, Sarah A. Hoyt, Brady Allen, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Patrick Thomas, Robert E. Waters, g. Elmer Munson, Diane Raetz, Georgina Morales, John L. French, and Michael Laimo. The odds of reading a great story are in your favor. But the age old question remains... do you feel lucky?

It is not an insult to call an author a liar. I mean, let’s face it, fiction authors are professional liars. They get paid to tell stories. Stories that we hope are not necessarily true. However, to be fair, authors of certain genres tell stories we wish were true, I think. Romance authors and utopian science fiction authors come to mind in the “wish they were true” category. Same goes with some literary drama. But who reads literary drama for fun? Not me.
You can’t spot any of these professional liars as they cross the street. They don’t look any different than your typical person. They have their fair share of odd haircuts, tattoos, misshapen heads and ancillary appendages, just like everyone else. Yet, they stand out in a different way. They can tell a story. In fact, they can tell stories so well that you forget you are being lied to.
Includes my flash fiction MEMENTO MORI and THE BEAST, as well as excellent lies from these fine people ... J. David Anderson, Paul Michael Anderson, David Bernard, Max Booth III, C. Bryan Brown, Kenneth W. Cain, Brad Carter, Kyle Dickerson, Emma Ennis, Robert Essig, Teel James Glenn, Scott Goudsward, KT Jayne, Tally Johnson, MF Korn, Christian A. Larsen, Michael Matula, Josef Matulich, Jessica McHugh, P. Andrew Miller, Billie Sue Mosiman, G. Elmer Munson, Andrew Nienaber, Cynthia Pelayo, Nelson W. Pyles, Patrick Scalisi, Rob Smales, and Tim Waggoner.
Take two steps to the left of normal and you'll find the type of stories offered in Horror: Odd and Bizarre. Consider them the red-headed step children of the genre... From a museum process that not only preserves the dead but brings them back to life to a phone that warns you of the impending apocalypse, each tale hits on a different level of the bizarre. Maybe a killer clown epidemic that preys on everything you hold dear, or a painting that subtly changes to spell out your doom, piques your odd meter instead—don't worry, they're in there too. If you like horror with a unique spin, a bizarre thread that straddles the line, or a tale that just a little off, you'll definitely enjoy each odd morsel and bizarre bite contained within!
