Read After Midnight
Stories for the Sleepless
Savannah author Chris Allen announces a new collection of horror — a handful of dark tales built for the small hours, each one meant to be read when the house has gone quiet and sleep refuses to come.
Savannah, GA — TBD — Author Chris Allen has announced Read After Midnight: Stories for the Sleepless, a forthcoming anthology of horror short fiction. Ranging from a desert roadside to a locked basement room to the blood-soaked frontier of the old West, the collection gathers stories that share a single instruction — save them for the hours when you are least prepared to read them.
Inside the Collection
Vacancy
A man checks into a lonely motel out in the desert — and learns too late that the real terror was waiting inside the room long before he arrived.
My Little Secret
For years, a woman kept her child locked away in a basement room. The day he finally escapes, everything she buried comes up into the light with him.
Mercy Creek
A wild-West werewolf tale, where the frontier’s deadliest predator wears a human face — at least until the moon rises over Mercy Creek.
Together, the stories move through the many shapes fear can take — the dread of a stranger’s room, the horror of what families hide, and the oldest terror of all, the thing in the dark that used to be a man. Read After Midnight is best enjoyed with the lights low and the doors locked.
