Two More Scary Stories, free on Amazon

This Friday through to next Tuesday (Mar 17 through Mar 21, 2017), will feature a couple of stories that we usually feature on the Halloween weekend, “Take Me Out to the Ballpark” and “A Dark Horse”. But, March is a pretty scary month, too, what with its usual crazy weather, so we figured, why not feature them now?

“Take Me Out to the Ballpark” features human evil, in the form of an apparently harmless person who has a very dark streak of evil, and who preys on the innocent.

“A Dark Horse” features supernatural evil, in the form of a bookie/loan shark with a dual personality, part human and part inhuman, who preys on addicted gamblers

Take Me Out to the Ballpark

Baseball and serial killers are as American as Apple Pie. So, here's a frightening short story that brings them together, for your Halloween reading.

Note that this is a short story of about 7000 words, or a reading time of 30 to 45 minutes.

A Dark Horse

Just what might a gambler give up, to go on the winning streak of his life? Even he can't know for sure. Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus legend is given a Damon Runyon spin, in this short story.
