Stories to Keep the Lights On

The porch light burns all night at 2118 Blackmoor Road, and the new owners will tell you why, if you ask. Stories to Keep the Lights On is a collection of eighteen original horror stories about the ordinary things that are quietly, patiently waiting. A rideshare passenger who pays in cash no one ever sees her hand over. A cellar that has to be fed once a week, or else. A phone call every night at 3 a.m., nine rings, no more, no less, because someone, decades ago, found out the hard way what happens on the tenth. Inside, you'll find: - A substitute teacher who's never once aged in seventy years- A church choir that finally, after decades, sang in perfect harmony- A cemetery groundskeeper whose real job has nothing to do with mowing- A house that was bought back by the two people the world assumed had disappeared foreverSome of these stories are inspired by real, unsolved cases. All of them are the kind you'll want to read with someone else in the house. Turn on every light before you start. It won't help, but it'll feel better.
