Just because it's imaginary, doesn’t mean it'll let you go.


Shades of Horrific Humor Anthology (#5)

Synopsis: Find the brighter side of bad, the lighter side of horror, and the terrible side of funny. Write Volumes is adding shades of humor into horror, with 6 new short stories. Some stories have supernatural touches, while others have ordinary terrors. Yet all will bring a grin or a groan as you try not to die laughing. These frightfully funny stories will have you chuckle as you hide under the covers with the lights on… 

Just because you laugh, doesn’t mean you’re safe.


Shades of Horror and Strangeness Anthology (#1)

Synopsis: Don’t read this collection of short stories if you don’t enjoy jumping at every sound or looking over your shoulder from now on. With 15 different short story authors, Write Volumes is bringing the color back to horror. From potentially world ending to life altering individual short stories, view the many shades of fear but don’t say we didn’t warn you. Adults only and beware, the scare can be for real… and lasting.

Read if you dare…
