Dread Ink — Bryan Smith

This triple dose of terror compiles three Bryan Smith novellas never previously published in paperback. In THE HALLOWEEN BRIDE, a mysterious woman in black lures a grieving widower through a crack in reality to Willowblack Lane, where Halloween is eternal and a clue to the truth behind his wife's untimely death awaits. BLOODRUSH is a tale of vampiric compulsion and one man's descent into helpless obsession with a beautiful and merciless priestess of the undead. THE DIABOLICAL CONSPIRACY looks at the Satanic truth behind the idyllic serenity of a seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood. Behind the mundane façade of ordinary life lurks an underbelly of darkness few wish to acknowledge, an insidious evil force driven by an insatiable need to corrupt and destroy. Some are aware of its presence but try not to think about it in the interest of preserving precious illusions. Yet that feeling remains, bubbling under the surface, that dreadful suspicion the unknown thing lurking in the dark will soon rise up . . . and consume.
