Terrifying tales unleashed : unsettling stories to remedy peaceful slumber

From the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming to the icy winter roads of the northern states, terrors lurk in the most ordinary corners and in the darkest supernatural shadows. In "Buried Alive," the first story of this collection, a young man with a lifelong love of caves pursues the ultimate spelunking adventure: the uncharted caverns of the Bighorn Mountains. Yet, no amount of studying caves will save you from the dark abyss if you make fatal mistakes during your adventure. Later, in "Heaven and Hell Struggle," an ordained minister fresh out of seminary school looks everywhere for a flock to call his own. Constantly rejected for not having had a "defining moment," he sets out on a road trip to get away from it all. Then a car accident gets closer to heaven, and hell, than he has ever been. The minister and the world will be, forever changed by his revelation. Also found in this collection are a newlywed couple devoured by a monstrous swamp-beast from the outskirts of their new farm; a biker who learns a hard lesson about carrying M&Ms with him through grizzly territory; a woman who burns alive for the love of her horses; and more bone-chilling tales. To wrap everything up is "Poison Elixir," the tale of a Black Widow, her latest victim, and just desserts that leave a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of all involved. TERRIFYING TALES UNLEASHED is a throwback to traditional horror stories with more modern settings. A mix of realistic terrors and supernatural scares akin to Gothic horror like the works of Edgar Allan Poe, this collection will keep readers enthralled and provide them with an escape from their own everyday fears. "Terrifying Tales Unleashed is a menagerie of short stories covering many popular genres including horror, science fiction, and suspense/thriller. Cover the gamut in this gripping narrative by way of buried alive, rats, bats, vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, ghosts, demons, and cannibals. The unleashing of each twisted account will bombard one's thoughts with impending shock waves. Will you be able to hold on to your own reality? Can you make yourself believe that what you are about to read is nothing more than a few tall-tales? Are you prepared to partake in a remedy for peaceful slumber and succumb to fitful nights of insomnia? The stories within this book are nothing more than pure fiction and certainly could not have really happened. Or could they?"--Page 4 cover
