In the Cold, Cold Ground

6 AUTHORS. 6 NOVELLAS.6 STATES OF HORROR IN NEW ENGLAND.Join William D. Carl, Kristin Dearborn, Ed Kurtz, Errick Nunnally, Kyle Rader, and Morgan Sylvia for six novellas-one for each state in New England-that explore the region from its haunted past to a horrifying vision of its future. Hidden doorways into bleak spirit realms and impossible pockets of time, ancient specters that inhabit the dark woods, unwanted visitors from unknown worlds and a cruel siren call from the waves crashing against the rocks...a hexad of horror from deep in the cold, cold ground.William D. Carl is the author of Bestial, Primeval, Out of the Woods, Three Days Gone, and The School That Screamed as well as the novella Safe Places. He has published short fiction in over fifty anthologies and magazines, including In Laymon's Terms, Out of the Gutter, The Many Faces of Van Helsing, Damned Nation, Retro Horror, Skin & Ink, and Wicked Weird. He lives with his partner of 32 years and one rather large hound dog in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. By day, he is a book buyer for An Unlikely Story, and by night he watches far too many crazy movies to enumerate. He likes pie.Ghosties and ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night: that's Kristin Dearborn in a nutshell.
