Summer Scare Returns!

Sure, the sun is shining brightly, but…

Last year I ran a series of posts here, linking to various stories by the many talented writers that told of eerie, scary, paranormal, and even horrific things. Time for another round. From June 1st through the end of July, I will be seeking out such stories to bring to you. Feel free to tag me with yours so I can pass them along.

The criteria:

• Posted on here or published somewhere (I just need the link).

• Doesn’t have to be new so long as there is a link to it somewhere, including to an anthology or a book it is in.

• Any length (I’m not worried about that since I’m not publishing them, just linking to them).

• Standalone or serial (in which case give me the link to the beginning episode).

• Is scary, has ghosts and/or other creatures, or is in some way something that will give readers a shiver (and maybe even a laugh or a gasp).

• Gore is fine, a warning would be appreciated.

• No erotica, please (not prudish, I just want this to be for a wide audience).

This is just a fun way of sharing your stuff. I may occasionally contribute something, too.

Some Invitees:

These are writers on here who write stories that fit this profile. Not sure if they will have time to participate. (If I’ve tagged anyone in error here, please let me know, and I will remove you. Also, if you want to be included, please let me know so I can add you.)
