A short story collection of epic proportions – 99 tales of psychological, cosmic, quiet, visceral horror designed to terrify. These are the early works of L. Marie Wood, the combination of her first three short story collections. These stories are the keys to the past; they are the keys to the doors that open to the dark.
Enter if you dare.
Foreword by Linda D. Addison
The originals
“[L. MARIE WOOD’S] PROSE IS THE INK-AND-PULP EQUIVALENT OF A WHISPER IN THE DARK, AN ICY TALON CLUTCHING THE THROAT, A DEAD MAN’S KISS UPON YOUR LIPS AS YOU SLEEP.”
Scared Naked Magazine
“To say that her greatest strengths lie in her ability to compose breathable atmosphere that rises from every page of any composition of hers, or that her deft characterizations lend tangible dimensions to the people and places of which she writes, does not begin to describe the art with which she constructs the worlds that we as readers are privileged to experience.”
“[L. Marie Wood’s] prose is the ink-and-pulp equivalent of a whisper in the dark, an icy talon clutching the throat, a dead man’s kiss upon your lips as you sleep.”
Anthony Beal
“L. Marie Wood continues to be a force in the world of horror with her unique writing style and her ability to spin a tale that will stay with you long after you have read the last sentence.”
–Midwest Book Review
“L. MARIE WOOD IS A WRITER WHO FEELS
Paul Melniczek Author of “Restless Shades,” “Frightful October”, and
COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT WITH HER
CRAFT. ”
“Her work gives one the feel of traditional storytelling with a touch of poignancy, believable settings, and a persistent sense of the uncanny. Her characters emerge from the written script, and you find yourself with a genuine enjoyable read.”
“A Halloween Harvest.”
“DRAWS US DEEP INTO THE DARK PLACES WHERE TERROR DWELLS.”
