Horrific Scribes Presents: Rulemakers and Rulebreakers: 26 Works of Order and Chaos (Horrific Scribes Anthologies)

Horrific Scribes Presents: Rulemakers and Rulebreakers: 26 Works of Order and Chaos 

by L. Andrew Cooper, H.J. Dutton, Sarina Dorie, et al

Format: Kindle 

Which is more terrifying, the imposition of order that might involve stifling limitations and repugnant values, or spiraling into chaos as order splinters or disappears? The 26 authors in Horrific Scribes Presents: Rulemakers and Rulebreakers have 26 answers, each with the potential to shatter you. Prepare for works by Sam Arlington, Raymond Brunell, Harley Carnell, Emmie Christie, Nicholas De Marino, Sarina Dorie, Eric Fomley, Douglas Ford, Matt Hollingsworth, Douglas Kolacki, Christine Lajewski, Devin James Leonard, E.J. LeRoy, Susan L. Lin, Mavrik McMeekan, Jason Frederick Myers, Lena Ng, Dimitry Partsi, Nick Porisch, Nilay Kumar Sarker, C.M. Saunders, Briar Shannon, Steve Toase, Mark Towse, Fendy S. Tulodo, and Andrew Welsh-Huggins.

"A terrific mix of 26 short stories, all on the theme of rule use and abuse. They're all engrossing, though some in that peering-between-your-fingers way, and a few are downright disturbing. I particularly liked the banality of "The Basement" and the bizarre "The Reflection's Strike, " but my favourite was the possession story "No Vacancy." A great anthology, just right if you want to have disturbed sleep!"

HORRIFIC SCRIBES PRESENTS: INVASIONS OF WORLD, HOME, BODY, AND MIND

BOOK LAUNCH! The first e-book anthology from the HORRIFIC SCRIBES archive is now available through Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords and many other fine retailers! Coming soon to even more!

Invaders threaten us from above, below, within, and beyond. Not scared enough yet? This anthology will help! From the Horrific Scribes web archive of original short fiction (and some poetry) come 24 selections that involve horrific invasions. Only 23 are short stories--one is a group of poems--and that's not the only way the book cover deceives you. None of the stories involves UFOs attacking Earth. 

Horrific Scribes seeks "the provocative, scary, and strange," and these works offer a wide array of perspectives on invasion, many of them unfamiliar. They stretch and cross the boundaries of horror, sci-fi, and other speculative fiction with dark edges. 

Settle in and let your imagination be overrun by the invasions conjured by Phoebe Barr, Jim Best, Amanda M. Blake, Jon Clendaniel, David Corse, Richard Dansky, John Davis, Laura DeHaan, T. Fox Dunham, H.J. Dutton, Joseph Hirsch, Tom Johnstone, Kasimma, Emmanuel Komen, Leonardo J. Lamanna, Steven Mathes, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Trisha Ridinger McKee, Eric Nash, M. Brandon Robbins, Cassandra O'Sullivan Sachar, Sydney Sackett, K. Thompson, and Fendy S. Tulodo.
