In the Dark it Devours: short horror stories

By Shawn Brooks

Seventeen short horror stories of hidden places, rotting things, and decomposing nightmares. From unknowable Lovecraftian gods to the spirits that haunt moldy homes, each story will chill you.

In a desert town, all the lights are on, but there are no people. Only hundreds of holes in the ground offer any clue as to what happened.

A woman in Japan gets off at an abandoned train station where the sun never rises, and she's not alone.

A couple moves into a house with a mold problem, one where the stains take on an oddly human shape.

Her rental cabin has a padlocked crawl space. One night she finds the door wide open and something shuffling below. Where did her dog go?

For fans of Adam Nevill, Ronald Malfi, H. P. Lovecraft, and Stephen King. These brutal, and at times touching, horror stories will keep you up all night.
