B is for Broken

Prairie Spirit(s)

Poetry about the spirit of the prairies and the spirits that haunt them.

Deadly droughts, malevolent entities and snow drifts that keep secrets (at least until thaw) are just some of the encounters, spooky and otherwise, that await you in Prairie Spirit(s).

G is for Ghosts

A teenage girl’s classmates begin disappearing only to haunt her dreams, ships full of ghostly passengers in need of release test those who are tasked to give them peace, psychopomps whose job is guiding the spirits of the dead to the other side meet in a support group, and more fill these pages.

A is for Apocalypse

Dark Waters

Water doesn’t need to be deep to be dark.

A remote lake where the locals wear iron anklets for protection, a ghost ship, a goddess, a pearl diver who finds much more than she’s looking for, the true story about a familiar fairy tale and more all lurk within these pages.

A is for Apocalypse

Arcana

Tarot card decks have twenty-two major arcana, filled with symbolism and imbued with meaning. Explore the greater secrets and ideas behind those cards with the stories and poems of Arcana. Discovery awaits, in tales such as: a grasping king struggling with his legacy; an alchemist setting a golem out on a mission of revenge; and a woman finding what she didn’t know she was looking for.

C is for Chimera

Hear Me Roar

“That incredibly loud guttural sound is a dragon, the main focus of another interesting compilation from editor Rhonda Parrish. If you’ve read any of her previous collections, you already sense these beasts are not going to be your run-of-the-mill, knights-in-shining-armor types of dragons. Those tired creations have been left at the door. Only the odd, the quirky, the never thought of before are gathered here.”
