“Knee Deep in Little Devils is like the best kind of Halloween haunted house: a dark journey filled with original, well-crafted horrors featuring moments of dread and thrills that always culminate in cathartic laughter or blood-curdling screams.”
-Jay Smith (Hidden Harbor Mysteries, The Resurrection Pact)
Features Arnzen's story, "A Check Up for Mr. Bangles"
In a restless suburb of Pittsburgh PA, there dwells an odd writing and critique group called Write or Die. Celebrating a mysterious annual rite, the authors disclose secret and sometimes tragic circumstances; evident only to those who have experienced the incidents . . . until now.
The stories in this collection will take you for perilous jaunts on All Hallows Eve, send you sprinting down a beach at midnight, drown your soul in inky waters, soak you in the blood of wizards and dump you down the rabbit hole of insanity.Whether these are parables that predict or tales to instruct, prepare yourself to be Knee Deep in Little Devils.
This is the first WorD (Write or Die) Halloween-themed anthology. The short stories contained herein were all written for, and read, during the first three annual Halloween reading events. These stories range from wonderfully frightening to frightfully preposterous. Sometimes shocking and unpredictable, this disquieting collection will keep you guessing at the sanity of the authors who write these tales.
