Exciting news from Anthony Renfro.

His short story, A Haunted Hose Tale, has a new cover and it’s free this Friday and Saturday. Want to know some more about it?

Here’s my review.

They must have seen the movies, read the books. Yet these five friends think it won’t happen to them.

Clearly something will and does.

The legend is, if you survive the night, you receive untold riches.

The temptation lures them in.

There’s safety in numbers, right?

Then it all goes south and everyone is scrambling to get out.

I never get tired of these stories. I was thinking of Scream, the movie, where they go over all of the rules of what not to do.

If these characters had any sense, they’d know not to go in that house, but then I wouldn’t have had such fun reading what happens to them.

Now I’m turning the blog over to Anthony so he can share with you more about A Haunted House Tale.

Take it away, Anthony!

Thanks to James at GOONWRITE for it. He really does great pre-made covers. He also has short stories for sale that I plan to read very soon. I will review them once I read them.

This short story is about five students on Halloween night who discover the secrets and terrors of the town’s most infamous haunted house. Will they live to see the morning?

So, back to business.

Instead of just putting up a story example from A Haunted House Tale, I thought I would highlight a couple of favorite sections.

First: I love how this part reads, like the house has a soul, a life of its own.

Kevin pushed the two double doors open (as his friends remained quiet behind him), and the house presented itself to them with a mingling odor of must, decay, pee, and feces. It was one big unpleasant smell.

Second: Digging this part of the story with a mouth on the wall (I’ve omitted the victim in the story, can’t really give that part away now can I).

The wall behind him turned into a giant mouth with sharp crooked wooden gnashing teeth covered in dried stained blood. Two plaster arms blew out of the wall with hands on the ends of these arms. These wooden hands with rusty nails for fingernails grabbed him as he tried to run away. The rusty nails implanted themselves into his body squirting blood out of him like someone squeezing a tomato too tight. He was stuck, couldn’t move, as he struggled to get free. The plaster arms picked him up and tossed him into the mouth. He was chewed up, and quickly consumed, lost somewhere inside the fabric of the wall.

This story has been rewritten and updated, so if you have read it before you might want to grab a copy today in order to see the new changes. If you haven’t, now is the time to read it. This is the final version of this story. No more changes after this. This story will also be featured in Nightlight Tales, which I hope will be released by the start of September.

Thanks again for reading and following my work. Remember, it is safer to sleep with the lights on at night. There are things that live in the darkness, things better left unseen.
