From the Dark Observatory: A Horror Fiction Collection

By Lisel Jones

"Welcome to a new anthology of horror tales by NoSleep Podcast standout Lisel Jones. Here we have a decidedly dark and otherworldly tapestry of nightmares." - Marcus Damanda, author of "Dearest Summer"

The bleakest terrors can only be seen on starless nights from the dark observatory...

Old friends profoundly regret playing a retro game that predicts their last words.
A family living in the filming location of a cult slasher are tormented by obsessive fans or maybe something even worse.
Reviews of a historic holiday rental reveal visitors may arrive at a destination beyond description.
Watching an eerie vintage cartoon in an empty theatre on Halloween night sounds like harmless fun, right?
A call for help on a remote forest road is answered by a siren that doesn't signal salvation.

And many more, including several seasonal tales for Halloween and Christmas.

This collection of short stories, micro-fictions and scripts includes Lisel's most horrific tales adapted by the multi-award-winning series 'The Nosleep Podcast' in print for the first time, along with new works.

This place holds only darkness. No horizon, no light, no stars.

"If you thought you were a fan of hers before, you will find yourself reading and re-reading these delightfully horrifying stories and demanding for a second collection." - Kristina Orlea, author of "Through The Dark Hallway" and "The Archaic Chest"

"From the Dark Observatory offers bite sized scares that will make you side eye things you've never been wary of before. Jones has crafted a collection of creeping dread that will wriggle into your head and make you hesitate the next time you want to reach out for a helping hand." - S. H. Cooper, author of "Bottling His Ghosts"

"This is a collection you don't want to miss." - K. G. Lewis, author of "Flotsam and Jetsam"

For The Christmas Visitations: "a sort of hybrid between M.R. James and Barker " - Charlie Davenport, author of "Date Night"
