Erie Tales 12: Cannibalism
Cannibalism — the act of consuming another individual of the same species as food. It is one of our greatest taboos. The very thought inspires fear, nausea, and revulsion. All of which sounds like a wonderful recipe for a delicious anthology of horror fiction. Pull up a chair as the members of the Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers serves up eight delicious tales of anthropophagy for your enjoyment. We hope you brought your appetite.
Erie Tales 11: Asylum
What better place to set a horror story than in an asylum? Don’t worry, you are not going to get a slew of ghosts haunting abandoned sites stories (although there may be one or two). The authors in this volume explore the dark history of some institutions and the dark nature of humanity.
Erie Tales 10: Masquerade
Each story contained in the volume you hold in your hands features masks — physical, psychological, supernatural… Sit back and relax, if you can, and enjoy our examination of the masks we all wear and the horrible things which lie beneath. If anything gets too intense, just lift yourself up with the knowledge that the GLAHW has been here for ten years and the only place that we’re going is those dark spaces that you don’t want to examine on your own. Don’t worry, we’ll take you with us.
Erie Tales 09: Transformation
In this our 9th offering, Erie Tales takes note of Shapeshifters, those that hide among us with unnatural appetites, unusual final forms, and toes that will never look cute in peep-toe pumps. Let your hair down, shake a tail feather, and really let yourself go. You’re among friends now, and we accept you for what you are. Forever.
