The Uncanny Collection by Jaye Wells is a 99 cent treat that you should definitely buy yourself or a friend for Christmas.
Blurb:
In this short story collection, every day is Halloween, and the tricks and treats are endless.
THE WEREWIFE: One week after she is bitten by the dog-faced boy at a traveling carnival, a mild-mannered housewife gets a sudden, unrelenting craving for raw meat. She doesn’t remember eating the cat or running naked through the park under the full moon, but her husband’s getting strange calls from concerned neighbors. When he takes her back to the carnival a year later, looking for a cure, it’ll either get better…or a whole lot worse. (Originally published in CARNIEPUNK anthology)
THE BLUEST HOUR: A journalist travels to New Orleans to track down the mysterious “Soul Singers”–psychopomps who guide spirits into the afterlife. In this city known for music and its connection to death, a man can learn things he’s not ready to know. (Originally published in FANTASY FOR GOOD, a charitable anthology)
THE DEADLINE: An ambitious journalist opens an investigation into the decade’s old murder of a priest and a nun at a local Catholic college. She swears she’ll do anything to earn her big break, but the price could be her very soul.
The Werewife was my favorite. It has enough twists in the plot to keep you guessing until the end! But they are all good stories. Keep reading, my friends!
