Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

 

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from

Horror Library

  Volume Eight

Genre: Horror

This is a collection and I’ve pulled an excerpt from the story Blockchain on page 56 in the paperback.

He turns and looks at me, grabs my hand, and pulls me close to him. For a second, I thought he was either  going to headbutt me or kiss me. He was maybe two inches from my face, and he whispered, “I can see why she picked you.”

The +Horror Library+ anthologies are internationally praised as a groundbreaking source of contemporary horror short fiction stories—relevant to the moment and stunning in impact—from leading authors of the macabre and darkly imaginative.

Filled with Fears and Fantasy. Death and Dark Dreams. Monsters and Mayhem. Literary Vision and Wonder. Each volume of the +Horror Library+ series is packed with heart-pounding thrills and creepy contemplations as to what truly lurks among the shadows of the world(s) we live in.

Containing 31 all-original stories, read Volume 8 in this ongoing anthology series, and then continue with the other volumes.

Shamble no longer through the banal humdrum of normalcy, but ENTER THE HORROR LIBRARY!

Included within Volume 8:

• In “Saving the World,” a family feeds their captive devil the sorrows of neighbors.

• In “We Can’t Let Go,” a welfare check by a child services worker proves that not all in life is as expected.

• In “Only the Stones Will Hear You Scream,” a man meets his nightmares while caving through narrow underground passages.

• In “Broodmare,” a teen girl yearns to be as free as her beloved horse while waiting to give birth to the savior-figure of her tribe.

• . . . and more!

    Unlikely I’d pick this book. Me and horror stories don’t match.
