THE SICK STUFF by Ronald Kelly

Repulsive.
Disgusting.
Beyond the realm of good taste…

• A serial killer records the abominations he has committed… on the only journal he has in his possession.
• A man moves into a new abode that is plagued with a spider problem… or is it the other way around?
• A sadistic fiend prepares for Halloween with razored treats and poisonous prizes…
• A young boy’s dreams echo of torture, death, and genocide…
• An old man’s living fluids reveal a horrible secret from his past…
• A mentally-unstable woman uses a sexual obsession to take an unwilling hostage…
• Parasites from within, self-vampirism, and spontaneous decay… all stem from a voodoo curse cast upon the unfortunate survivors of a Louisiana family…

This is the sick stuff.

FAILURE by John Everson

Raymond is such a failure, he can’t even kill himself and get it right. Cindy just plain doesn’t care; she’ll get on her knees for anyone beneath the football field bleachers to score a nickel bag hit. And Sal is a frustrated goon with a hook nose and an attitude so sour he can’t nail a girl even with the lure of free dope and a getaway car.

When these three desperate teens meet Aaron, a failed practitioner of the dark arts who offers them the best high they’ve ever smoked in exchange for some kinky sexplay inside his pentagram, things can only go from bad to worse. Aaron hopes to ensnare and re-birth the spirit of a late witch, to capture her power from beyond the grave for his own.

Soon, they’ll all learn the darkest, bloodiest, most terrifying definition of Failure.
