Four spooky short story anthologies filled with tales of the macabre, the cursed, and the haunted. Grab your copy today! A forged mask that communicates with the dead, a cable repairman called to investigate an empty field...or so he thinks, a father-son DIY project not quite working as intended, an excavation going horribly awry, and a blacksmith called to do the bidding of an old god. An unfortunate series of events, indeed...These infernal souls, and many others, are all part of the Fear Forge—the first edition of Horrorsmith Publishing's debut anthology series. It features tales told of cursed smelters, haunted crafted objects, and the degradation of relationships forged within the fires of vengeance. For these authors, fear has forged with the mundane, turning simple rings, rockers, and candles into ravenous blacksmiths of destiny that have doomed us all.

Witches were afoot, with their spells, evil ways, and communion with demons. But not all the witches they attempted to execute perished...Some still live, and they want their revenge...Contained within this tome are twenty-five stories of the macabre, decadent brutality, and sweet, sweet reminders that a little bit of their dark magic lives in all of us.

We've pitched our tents, set up our camping chairs, and breathed in the fresh air of nature and freedom.Until it all goes horribly wrong...Until whatever lurks in the shadows edges closer, undaunted by the flame, reaching for our ankles, running a gnarled finger through our hair, caressing our backs in a deathly chill. Huddle closer to the flames now...Don't you dare look behind you.
