Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A collection of horror-inspired flash fiction, featuring over 40 new stories from literary, horror, and emerging writers-edited by Lincoln Michel and Nadxieli Nieto, the twisted minds behind Tiny Crimes- Very Short Tales of Mystery and Murder

In this playful, inventive collection, leading literary and horror writers spin chilling tales in only a few pages. Each slim, fast-moving story brings to life the kind of monsters readers love to fear, from brokenhearted vampires to Uber-taking serial killers and mind-reading witches.

But what also makes Tiny Nightmares so bloodcurdling-and unforgettable-are the real-world horrors that writers such as Samantha Hunt, Brian Evenson, Jac Jemc, Stephen Graham Jones, Lilliam Rivera, Kevin Brockmeier, and Rion Amilcar Scott weave into their fictions, exploring how global warming, racism, social media addiction, and homelessness are just as frightening as, say, a vampire's fangs sinking into your neck.

Our advice? Read with the hall light on and the bedroom door open just a crack.

Featuring new stories from Samantha Hunt, Jac Jemc, Stephen Graham Jones, Rion Amilcar Scott, and more!

Includes index.
