Crossroads in the Dark II
Urban Legends
Join T. Joseph Browder and thirty-one other independent horror masters in a romp through America's Urban Legends.
Exclusively from Burning Willows Press: 32 tales…32 storytellers with a twisted mind to entice you.
When you were younger, the stories told around the campfire were the best you had ever heard. The bedtime stories our elders would tell us were the ones that put us to sleep but the campfire was where you got the chills to stay up because of every sound the woods made at night. It's hard to believe in a world where things do not get creepier at night or the world does not come more to life at dusk. Where the world gets just a little unhinged in the dark.
Urban Legends is a collection with some of today’s up and coming authors in the indie world. Giving you their takes on the tales they grew up with…legends of mystery, of the macabre, of horror, designed to make the hairs on your neck stand alert and your skin crawl. You know some of the stories but do you know the twisted minds of the author telling the tale? Make sure you keep the lights on…things get harder to wrap your thoughts around at the Crossroads in the Dark.
Includes 'Plague,' T. Joseph Browder's darkest tale of terror to date.
Infernal
Book 1 of The Elsewhere
Richard Farris, a man with a dark past, survives the worst blizzard to ravage the Kansas plains in decades only to discover a woman near death in a snow bank. Cut off by the storm, with only his faithful St. Bernard Charlie to aid him, Richard fights for his life, Charlie’s, and the life of the woman, Sophia, against a shadowy military unit that descends upon his farm.
His home and his life in ruins, Richard goes on the run. In California, Sophia, the woman he watched die in Kansas, finds him again -- one step ahead of another strike force sent by BanaTech, a worlds-spanning corporate empire intent on enslaving humanity at the bidding of hellish supernatural beings.
Now entangled in an ancient war between angels and demons, Richard flees with Sophia through multiple versions of the Universe and even through time, across landscapes of horror where fantasy is reality and nothing is what it seems…not even Richard’s own identity.
They were once of the All. Something wonderful and full of light. But they became wicked…defiled the All and were cast out. So they seek to destroy every good thing. They are evil in its purest form. They are Infernal.
"...complex, thought provoking, and profound."
Josh Mauthe (Underground Book Review)
"...Browder has an easy way with words, ideas, and plots...The Sci-Fi is well done...[his] multiverse based on one of several currently viable theories of quantum mechanics."
(James Tepper, PhD., Rutgers University)
Plague
One man, alone with his children. One world, in the grip of the worst viral outbreak in human history. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. No place is safe. What lengths would you go to to save the life of your child?
​
They kill. Violently and without warning. They are monsters. They prey on the living. They are not zombies. They are something worse.
