Dark Screams: Volume Two

Dark Screams series

This anthology gathers five horror, suspense and dark fantasy stories by different writers, continuing a series of collections put together by a small press. The opener follows a boy whose apparent accident at a town swimming pool was no accident, and who returns on the final evening of summer looking for payback. In another tale, a ticket agent at an airport gate witnesses something unnatural after a flight vanishes. A woman arrives at an old Victorian house in Maine to prepare it for a feature on mysterious places, and the job soon begins to pull at her. A girl discovers that the wardrobe in her bedroom holds a grim secret. The final story follows a 1970s rock group that never quite existed, in a world that resembles ours but is off in subtle ways. Each tale stands alone, so readers can dip in and out.
