With two brand new stories by Grady Richards.
In this dark collection you will find otherworldly spiders, zombie debt collectors, malevolent pets, and prophecy gone awry.  You will see into the heart of a child-killer and into the heart of a man mourning the loss of his daughter.  You will find terrors locally in a man who fears his neighborhood demons, and distantly in a man who caught a devastating illness in deep space.  You will look through the eyes of a maniac, you will feel with the soul of the vengeful, and you will peek through spread fingers as you watch the things which keep you up at night as they begin to crawl forward and feed.All Rights Reserved

Divine Purpose by romolavinia91

What if we could see the evil creatures following us around? What if we could see the demons taunting us day in and day out? Those demons that install fear and anxiety into our minds. My family can. We are the blessed few chosen by God to destroy the evil beings dragging us to hell. We see things no one else should or could. I thought I could fight them off. I was raised to be the strongest but that crumbled when he came along. Cal was the nightmare that turned into a reality. He corners me in the darkest of places; twisting me into a cynical destructive world where nothing makes sense. I don't know how much more I can take before I erupt pieces of what could have been.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Forgetting the Apocalypse by Vaulthunter357

Well welcome to my life. What did I forget? Oh you know, my name, my identity and just this small thing called the apocalypse. Mara doesn't remember anything besides waking up in a car that's been flipped over. When she emerges from the crash, she tries to find anyone who can help her get medical attention. Only the first person she sees isn't even an actual person, it's one of the undead. How are you supposed to survive when you don't remember anything? Who are you supposed to trust? Where do you go?

Creepy Crawlies by GlennRiley48

In this gripping anthology, Riley masterfully weaves tales of horror that skitter and scuttle from the darkest corners of your imagination.

These are not mere bugs; they are nightmares incarnate, thriving in the shadows of our fears. Riley's vivid storytelling brings these creatures to life with a realism that will crawl under your skin and linger long after the final page. The stories intertwine humanity's deepest fears with the primal horror of an insect-infested dystopia, revealing the fragility of our existence. As you turn each page, prepare to confront your phobias and question what truly lurks in the forgotten crevices of the world around us. "Creepy Crawlies" is not just a book; it's an expedition into the terror that squirms beneath the surface of the mundane. Can you handle the crawl?

Better off Undead by RamzoWily

Zombies were just the beginning. Greater horrors wait out in the night... Eli had never really gotten along with people. Not his family, his friends, his fellow students, or his co-workers. All he ever wanted was to withdraw from the world into his music and video games. When his internet connect goes out for seemingly no reason he's annoyed, but when his power also goes out, he realizes there has to be something wrong. So he finally decides to do what he has been trying to put off for weeks: go outside. As soon as he does, he discovers the world is not the same one he remembers. Now the world is full of monsters - the walking, flesh-eating, undead variety. Now the loner Eli is forced to run with a small group of survivors just to stay alive. But while he is busy trying to find out where he belongs in this new post-apocalyptic world, the terrors continue to grow out there in the darkness. Soon, Eli will learn that there is more to survival than staying one step ahead of the monsters. Soon, he will learn that there are more frightening things waiting for him in the darkness than zombies... Come enjoy this horror story like no other, inspired by monster movies, video games, comic books, TV shows, and the musical stylings of horror rock bands.
