    About this ebook

    Were you ever left home alone? McCauley Culkin made a career for himself out of the experience, but perhaps you were less enthusiastic. There are always sinister shadows lurking about, windows that bang open, and creaking floorboards that echo when you walk.
    This week's theme brings you four stories that involve circumstances that happen inside our abodes. Whether in the basement or flying around outside above our heads, danger and evil can occur when we're home alone.
    For example, in our lead story, "The Basement," author Jeff Poole brings us a situation we may have all faced. Somebody we know may be missing, and we are aware of where he could be. But, should we enter to find out? You will find out when you enter "The Basement."
    Next, J. T. Seate, in his second HOTIP appearance, takes us inside "This Old House" where the rivalry of two sisters leads to a tale of horrendous proportions. This story could just as well have appeared on "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" back in the day.
    The third story is from yours truly, and it concerns a problematic search on the web where a military wife finds out a lot more than she ever bargained for. Are drones becoming the new terrorist weapon of choice? Find out in "Pterodrone."
    Finally, to complete our quartet of stories for this week, we have HOTIP regular, J. G. Faherty’s "True Love Never Dies." This story is a cozy little tale about a husband who has trouble getting to sleep. What keeps him awake will also keep you awake.
    We'll keep these excellent stories coming, as long as you keep subscribing, so thanks for being there! We at Horror on the Installment Plan can't wait to read the next submissions to put together your next exciting, thematic reads!
