Tiny Nightmares: Very Short Stories of Horror

By: Michel, Lincoln

Book Overview

A collection of horror-inspired flash fiction, featuring over 40 new stories from literary, horror, and emerging writers--edited by Lincoln Michel and Nadxieli Nieto, the twisted minds behind Tiny Crimes: Very Short Tales of Mystery and Murder

In this playful, inventive collection, leading literary and horror writers spin chilling tales in only a few pages. Each slim, fast-moving story brings to life the kind of monsters readers love to fear, from brokenhearted vampires to Uber-taking serial killers and mind-reading witches.

But what also makes Tiny Nightmares so bloodcurdling--and unforgettable--are the real-world horrors that writers such as Samantha Hunt, Brian Evenson, Jac Jemc, Stephen Graham Jones, Lilliam Rivera, Kevin Brockmeier, and Rion Amilcar Scott weave into their fictions, exploring how global warming, racism, social media addiction, and homelessness are just as frightening as, say, a vampire's fangs sinking into your neck.

Our advice? Read with the hall light on and the bedroom door open just a crack.

Great things really do come in small packages!!!

I've read some short/short stories before and was mildly amused. But this is the first horror genre group of short/short stories and I can honestly say that it blew me away. Just writing a regular short story is hard enough because you have to get enough info into such a short space, yet keep the reader entertained and lusting for a great finish. NOW imagine doing it in a VERY short format. The vast majority of these stories had me so enthralled that after I read the whole book, I went back and read them all again. BEST story was the very first. It starts out somewhat confusing, gets a little more off-beat, and then hits you over the head with the whole thing. Brilliant. I cannot recommend this book enough.
