    About this ebook

    Just a little...

    Haunting – These tomes of terror will stay with you long after you put your book down and go to bed for the evening. They’ve been known to burrow themselves into a reader’s imagination and are capable of warping dreams into twisted, unspeakable nightmares.

    Just a little...

    Unique – These aren’t your standard horror stories. Don’t think this collection will include tales of haunted mansions, or blood sucking vampires. Expect one-of-a-kind takes on every gothic ghoul and hideous monster you read about in this book.

    Just a little...

    Frightening – Prepare yourself for some of the most chilling flash fiction ever penned. The mad genius, Vincent V. Cava, has done it again with the latest entry in his creepy catalogue. Do yourself a favor and leave the lights on when you read it.

      I couldn’t have done this one without you.

      The Author

      Vincent V. Cava

      His tales have been known to induce seizures in small children. Merely skimming through one of his stories can lead to anxiety, nausea, and internal bleeding. You should not read anything written by him if you are currently pregnant or nursing (including this author’s bio…although it’s probably too late by now). He’s a man whose mind is so dark, not even the World-Wide-Web could contain his horrific imagination.

      He is Vincent V. Cava!

      The son of NASA researchers, Vincent V. Cava’s writing has quickly amassed a following over the Internet. His stories have been translated into dozens of different languages and have been used to promote major studio films. You can find out more about Vincent by following him on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

      Foreword

      When you’re learning to swim, the last thing you want to do is dive headfirst into the deep end of the pool. You need to wade into the shallow end before you get into the fancy stuff. That’s why I began writing flash fiction before I started working on short stories, novellas, full-length novels, and screenplays. However, as my writing continued to improve, I never stopped enjoying the short stuff. There’s something extremely satisfying about a good piece of flash fiction. It’s like treating yourself to a scrumptious pastry halfway between breakfast and lunch.

      I looked at this little project as an experiment. Can I scare you, blow your mind, or at the very least entertain you in a thousand words or less. It’s quite the challenge. Writing in this format gives you little room to set the mood or introduce characters. In a way, it forces the reader to dive into the story headfirst. There’s no time to wade in.

      I’m proud of these tiny tales of terror and I’m happy to share them with you. From a creative standpoint, some of them took just as much planning and focus as many of my longer stories. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

      Schizo

      Donny Polk sat upright in his bed, back against the headboard as terrible memories of his childhood began flooding back to him.

      Memories about the Bird Woman – the creature his diseased mind had conjured up during his youth. The thirty-nine-year-old family man was no stranger to schizophrenia, though he hadn’t felt its symptoms since he was a boy – before his doctors had put him on a plethora of anti-psychotic medication.
