    Cal Noble

    I'm Cal Noble and I'm a horror-holic. I love scary things. I read a lot of horror and I write mostly horror. Fans of horror know that term can mean a lot of different things. In general, I do not write splatterpunk. I loved the gorefests of the Eighties like the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the Thirteenth movies, but I don't write like that. I typically write supernatural suspense and supernatural thrillers. I like the traditional antagonists: ghosts, demons, Satan, witches, etc. In general, I prefer to write about realistic characters who find themselves in very screwed-up situations. I studied creative writing at the University of Alabama. Currently, my wife and I live in north Alabama with two wicked cats and a demon dog.

      Review

      When the rain stopped, Maria opened the window and leaned out to survey the wet street below. She couldn’t believe she ever thought of jumping. It was only four stories; it wasn’t like it would kill her. Many people survived higher falls. Then again, lesser tumbles proved fatal for a good number of people. Either way, there was no sense in tearing open scars to remind herself what the wound looked like. With a smile and a wave, she
