  “They Are Everywhere” is a story that combines the elements of the most spine-tingling supernatural horror with the funniest comedy. Never before have malevolent spirits, poltergeists and haunted houses been so funny. Make no mistake though, the terror is real; it’s the witless protagonists and their incredibly inappropriate reactions that give the story its humor. In “They Are Everywhere” you will encounter: 
  • A pair of dimwitted and entirely earnest main characters 
  • Three separate investigations into paranormal activity that do not go the way you might expect 
  • An interesting back story for the two main characters, hinting at past exploits 
  • Elements based on other famous and well-known stories of hauntings 
  • Scenarios whose truth, whether supernatural or mundane, can easily be discerned by the reader if not by the protagonists 
  • A final and interesting secret revealed to the reader if nobody else 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
