    In Jac Jemc's dislocating second story collection, False Bingo, we watch as sinister forces (some supernatural, some of this earth, some real, and some not) work their ways into the mundanity of everyday life. 
     
    In "Strange Loop," an outcast attempting to escape an unnamed mistake spends his days taxiderming animals, while in "Delivery," a family watches as their dementia-addled, basement-dwelling father succumbs to an online shopping addiction. "Dont Let’s" finds a woman, recently freed from an abusive relationship, living in an isolated vacation home in the South that might be haunted by breath-stealing ghosts. 
     
    Fueled by paranoia and visceral suspense, and crafted with masterful restraint, these seventeen stories explore what happens when our fears cross over into the real, if only for a fleeting moment. Identities are stolen, alternate universes are revealed, and innocence is lost as the consequences of minor, seemingly harmless decisions erupt to sabotage a false sense of stability. False Bingo is a collection of realist fables exploring how conflicting moralities can coexist: the good, the bad, the indecipherable.

    A woman encounters her ex-fiancé during a snowstorm in their New England hometown in this short story from a New York Times–bestselling author. 
     
    Brody Rollins is back in Tucker’s Point, Maine, for the first time in five years, but he’s not staying long. His plan is to go in, meet his new baby nephew, and get out. Then a winter storm takes a turn for the worse, and Brody can’t escape . . . from former neighbors, old regrets or painful glimpses of his ex-fiancée. 
     
    When Delaney Westcott runs into Brody at the town’s emergency shelter, she’s shaken. She wants nothing to do with the man who left her—and Tucker’s Point—without so much as a goodbye. Being cooped up with him in a high school gym is stirring up more than just bad memories, though, and soon Delaney finds herself confiding in Brody. But will he have any reason to stay once the blizzard ends?

    "A wonderfully weird gallop through nightmare country. Dark, often hilarious, twisted, and filled with magic. Loved every single story" 
    - Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of NecroTek and The Dragon in Winter 
    For centuries, philosophers have pondered the Zen Buddhist koan: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" What, then, is the sound of one hand screaming? 
    Within these stories you will find . . .a bookstore that keeps more than dusty old tomes on its shelves . . .a phantom limb that can reach into the next world . . .the exquisite taste of a book-aged skull . . .a comic that colors people's lives with terror . . .graves unable to hold their wares . . .a collector of haunted artifacts who gets more than he bargains for . . .a deserted northern highway that brings back a man's worst childhood fears . . .bogeymen, anthropomorphic terrors, and more . . . 
    In 2004 Mark Leslie released his first collection of chilling fiction and disturbing poetry in a volume called One Hand Screaming. Twenty years later, this special anniversary edition that is more than twice as long as the original includes all the stories and poems from the first edition plus new ones published in the past twenty years along with all new pieces crafted specifically for this volume. This collection includes previously published award-nominees alongside original and never-before published works. 
      
    This haunting collection of tales read by Mark Leslie, Eric Bryan Moore, Scott Overton, Aaron Fors, Chris Humphreys, and Shaun Smith are sure to bring a delicious shiver to any fan of The Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories, and Black Mirror. If, that is, you're interested in opening your imagination to the sound of those silent screams.

    On a blustery January breeze, a new girl sweeps into the neighborhood, breathing life - and a bit of magic - into the cottage she christens Elderberry Croft. 
    The folks at The Coach House Trailer Park can't help but fall under Willow Goodhope's spell. She charms them all with her whimsical nature and outrageous laugh. But there's something about her, a secret sadness that hovers at the corners of her irrepressible smile. And it has everyone talking. 
    Doc catches her burning letters out under the moonlight. Joe glimpses the whispering shadows clinging to the girl's coattails. Eddie and Donny compete to see who can make her smile first, and Patti can't ignore that her husband is sitting up straighter and taking notice of the young beauty. Kathy is doing everyone in the park a favor by keeping a close eye on the wild woman next door. 
    Through her binoculars. 
    And what she sees doesn't sit well with any of them. 
    "I meant to savor Elderberry Croft - I really did - but I couldn't help myself and gobbled it up in one sitting. Brimming with beautifully flawed characters who will make you sigh, smile, laugh, cry, and hurt over their very real struggles, Becky Doughty's Elderberry Croft is a must read." ~ Tamara Leigh, USA Today Bestselling Author
