Campfire Tales: Volume I

Don't let the fire go out. Some stories are best left untold.

From the bold new voice in horror, J. D. Vale, comes a chilling anthology of ten stories that tap into our most primal fears. Campfire Tales: Volume I resurrects the timeless tradition of tales told in the dark, with each story crafted to leave you breathless and checking over your shoulder.

These are not just stories; they are experiences designed to be shared around a flickering campfire, whispered at a sleepover, or read alone in the dead of night. Each narrative explores a unique facet of fear, from psychological dread and body horror to supernatural terrors that blur the line between our world and the next.

Venture into the darkness and discover:

• The Flicker Men: A group of friends discovers their campfire is not just a source of warmth, but a cage for two-dimensional terrors that are dying to step into our world.

• The Borrowed Breath: After a life-saving lung transplant, a young woman begins to inherit her donor's memories and a violent secret that's still gasping for life.

• The Trail That Weeps: Two hikers become hopelessly lost on a path that is very much alive, a sentient entity that feeds on the despair of those it traps within its endless loops.

• The Storyteller's Price: A mysterious stranger joins a group of campers and tells them a terrifying story that, upon its conclusion, begins to happen to them in real-time.

• The Final Ember: The last story of the night warns of a curse that claims the final person left awake. Suddenly, the simple act of falling asleep becomes a desperate struggle for survival against your friends.

• ...and five more tales of unflinching dread.

Campfire Tales: Volume I is a must-read for fans of Stephen King's short fiction, the uncanny dread of Black Mirror, and the classic shivers of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It's the perfect companion for any night you want to feel the chill of the darkness pressing in.

Gather 'round. The fire is low, and the stories are waiting.

Stoke the flames, turn the page, and pray for dawn. It's your turn to be afraid.
