A married couple with an undead houseguest. A shape-shifting robot with a photographic memory. A gourmand mob boss with a taste for the unusual. Welcome to the world of Silent Screams. Containing twenty-six stories from a variety of fresh voices and industry veterans, Silent Screams is an anthology of dark speculative fiction focused on drawing awareness to the plight of those who are unable to speak for themselves. Simultaneously humane and horrific, each included tale presents a vision of the macabre animated by a beating heart of compassion. The world's voiceless victims cry out. If you listen closely enough, you just might hear them. Praise for Silent Screams: "The stories lurking in this dark, grim anthology are wildly original and consistently excellent." - Jeff Strand, author of PRESSURE and DWELLER "Silent Screams cuts below the fatty tissue to the meat of those suffering silently. It's a brave, compelling and empathetic journey inside often-missed stories, and a terrific read." - John Palisano, Bram Stoker(r) winning author of NERVES and GHOST HEART "Read this at your own peril. These stories sink their teeth into your marrow and haunt your bones." - Gail Z. Martin, author of THE SHADOWED PATH

Twisted Yarns is a collection of eleven depraved stories that will warp your mind and spark your curiosity for tales best muttered in hushed tones and dark corners. Imagine finding a baby in a dumpster; how far would you go to protect it? Picture yourself trapped in a maze with a monstrous creature that wants nothing more than to spill your blood while others bet on the outcome of your life; would you run to survive? Do you think you could - run or survive? Perhaps you're clinging to a lost love so strongly that your rational mind doesn't realize how strongly it's clinging to you; is it bliss or torture? Come to think of it, is it safe to accept that tasty sample the kindly gentleman who works at the grocery story is offering you? It couldn't be anything but harmless, could it? If you prefer your horror twisted with a bit of grit sprinkled on top for flavor, this is the perfect anthology for you!
