    31 Short Horrors: Short stories, poetry, and sick sundries

    About this ebook

    Short stories that tickle, torment, and terrify. Raw love poetry that slices through and beyond what a heart is capable of surviving. Voodoo-practicing rodents somehow save the world, and the beginning of a terrible joke (three idiots walk into a bar...) turns out fantastic for some clever, enterprising immigrants. These thirty-one short works were written over the course of three years, and recount one woman's struggle to find her sanity and define her reality as her mind fragments beneath her fingertips. Buckle up buttercups, because mental whiplash is the only certainty in these pages.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
