Women who choose to have children often cannot understand those of us who have chosen not to. Kid Me Not, a collection of essays by everyday women, was written with the hope that all women, regardless of their inclinations, will be encouraged to listen to the voice within, and follow it, wherever it leads. With luck, our stories will sow seeds of respect between women who choose paths exclusive of children and those who have chosen the daunting task of being mothers

A Strangehouse anthology by women of horror.

The devil whispered in our ears. We listened. We obeyed. We sinned. Shall we repent? Or shall we take you down with us? Thou shall not have any other gods before me. Thou shall not make yourself a carved image. Thou shall not take the Lord's name in vain. Thou shall remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. Thou shall honor your mother and father.Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shall not covet your neighbor's house. *This is NOT a religious book. This is dark, depraved, and delicious and is intended for a mature audience 18+. The Ten Commandments as you've never seen them before...*

A straight from the shoulder look at life in which the author asks some awkward questions that we might prefer to swat away like an annoying fly. Questions like: Who am I? What is this life really about? What is the mind? Why do we resist change? These are the questions we lock away in a tall tower like some inconvenient relative whose 'lost her marbles' and become an embarrassment to the family. Perhaps you've been asking 'comfortable' questions and avoiding the hard-hitting ones, preferring to hide away from them and pretending that they don't exist. We hope that someone, somewhere, will put it all right for us. They won't! This book is not for the faint of heart as it brings you face to face with yourself ... but not the one you see when you look in the mirror. If you've locked yourself up in protective custody and thrown away the key, this book could well pick the lock and let you out again. There's something wonderful waiting to be discovered if we care to take a look. If you're prepared to be brutally honest when thinking about the questions raised in this book and to be your own harshest critic, then pop over to the cash desk or place it in your basket online and, go for it. You're not alone and help is always available ... far closer than you can imagine.

Nineteen twisted tales from a vibrant, online community of horror enthusiasts! What’s HorrorTube? A creepy, new carnival ride combining a water slide park with a haunted funhouse? Not quite, although that sounds like a blast. A subset of BookTube, HorrorTube is an online community of horror enthusiasts who regularly post YouTube videos about horror-related topics, including books, films, and fiction writing. Some of the writers included in this anthology cover horror exclusively. You’ll find them posting creepy photos on Instagram or waxing poetic about the seventies drive-in flick that kept them up all night. Some read widely, only delving into the horror genre occasionally. All are passionate about books and writing. Joined together by this vibrant, online community of readers and writers, these nineteen authors bring you scary stories from all parts of the globe, proving that fear is universal. Local Haunts has taken the horror BookTube community’s global influence and shrunk it down into one village of horror and mayhem you’ll not soon forget. Inside these pages are frightening stories from around the globe, telling tales of haunts, monsters, and other terrible things local to each author’s place of residence. Within these pages you’ll find terrifying tales from North America, my own included, joined by terrible happenings in the Australian bushlands, ghosts haunting an old Greek mansion, an abandoned Vietnamese hospital, and a creepy museum, among many other eldritch encounters.
