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.

Cover reveal for the anthology Read After Midnight

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

I

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.

II

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.

III

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.
