A horror story collection that is sure to keep you up at night… The human mind is an incredible organ. It shoots synapses through trillions of connections to the more than 100 billions nerves in our bodies. But what happens when one of those connections goes bad? What happens when there is a misfire? What happens when some minds break, and people stop functioning “correctly”? Join the writers featured in the fifth volume of Ink Stains as they explore what happens when good people go bad or mad. When misfiring brains can no longer separate fact from fiction…or maybe it is all fact, and it is us, not they who are mad. Andrew Benn, Tiffany Michelle Brown, Don Cox, Elana Gomel, Leigh Harlen, Jason K. Kawa, Adrian Ludens, RJ Murray, Peter Emmett Naughton, Michael Picco, Paul Tanner, Timothy A. Wiseman explore these themes and other dark delights that may leave you questioning what is real.

In the weird western novelette "Bottled Spirits," Truman Bonner sets out to rescue his wife, Helena, from ruthless outlaws and personal demons. He and his son, Isaac, face a series of harrowing supernatural ordeals and before the family is reunited, more than one of them may have made a deal with the devil. Margo lives in a society where people remove organs and amputate limbs to celebrate growing older. Her world is shattered when her new boyfriend makes a shocking request in "Reduced to Tears." The trickster god Iktomi helps, hinders, and terrorizes a pioneer youth who's trying to solve the gruesome murders of a neighboring family in "The Sodbuster and the Spider." These, and ten other macabre stories, wait within.

A collection of novelettes that features Full Moon in the West by Dominic Sabile, Bottled Spirits by Adrian Ludens, and The Dance by S.L. Williams

Twenty macabre stories and poems by Adrian Ludens are waiting inside this new collection from the author of When Bedbugs Bite and Bedtime Stories for Carrion Beetles.

A collection of fifteen dark tales, Gruesome Faces Ghastly Places brings together three South Dakota-based horror authors in one exclusive collection. Ride along on a nightmarish road trip to Nowhere in Doug Murano's "Pavement Ends." Witness a bizarre Old West exorcism in Adrian Ludens' "Ghost Soup." And tour a carnival freak show that is more than it seems in C.W. LaSart's "To Each His Own Hell." These tales and a dozen more are sure to thrill any reader of horror and supernatural suspense fiction. "In the very best way, this collection...reminds me of the classic "Hitchcock Presents" paperbacks: The horror here initially seems familiar and then takes twists and turns, zigs, zags, and deadfalls into new and ultra-disturbing places. South Dakota will not likely add this title as a guidebook, but if you like traveling with fear as a companion, you'll want this collection of G and G." -Mort Castle, Bram Stoker Award-winning author and editor. "These three voices, brought together here like a chorus, are part of the cutting edge of modern horror. Go ahead and turn the page. I dare you. But I will warn you. You're gonna get sliced up. And you'll love it while you bleed. They're that good." -Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author
