Welcome to The Horror Society's 2017; anthology "Horrific Beginnings." All the authors are part of a community of individuals committed to making the world a little darker than they found it. The stories that follow are the earliest works from these authors. Now approaching our second anniversary The Horror Society remains a valuable successful think tank. With over thirteen hundred members and growing, this community shares its experiences daily, discussing current trends, markets, and opportunities. The members share their knowledge free of charge with the common goal of satisfying the thrill-seeking public. Here it's about the work and not the money. So today we invite you to come and experience our nightmares. Reading the table of contents, you will find the stories from both veteran and up-and-coming authors who will, without doubt, satisfy your thirst for horror.
