      Payment Of A Field Guard - Artie Margrave

      Praise for Artie Margrave’s works

      …Artie Margrave is amazingly talented. He invokes more fear within his few pages than a more seasoned writer does in an entire book. Ready and Action grabs hold of you from the first page and leaves you wanting more by the end. His imagery is stellar, placing the words in your mind and letting you take from it what you will. I will definitely be reading more from Artie Margrave, and if you are a true fan of horror, you will do the same.

      ~Michelle Callahan, IndieHorrorNews.com

      Very cool. More please.

      ~A Note from the Author~

      HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!!

      That should be it. Doesn’t appear to be much but what else would you have me add? That the book is about this, about that and on and on? No, definitely not. Because that’s the cool thing about Hallowe’en—the shocking, frightening expectations. What you don’t know might kill you.

      So rather than spend a night out with the friends, crank up a costume party, make out with the vampire-chick, or dude, who you’ve never even before met, why not spend a night out with yourself, alone in that unlighted room. Because the true horror is not out there, it’s in there, inside you, with you, a part of you you can never exorcize, that inhuman tendency. Suppressing it only makes it grow, makes it worse. And when it bursts to the surface, the repercussions…

      So take a night out with yourself and unleash all of your horrors upon the wet October atmosphere. That’s what Hallowe’en’s there for, that and more.

      Well, I’ll tell you one thing though: Don’t turn if you don’t have
