"Stories that are guaranteed to entertain." -Doubleshot Reviews R.k. Kombrinck, co-host of Night of the Living Podcast , delivers a collection of short stories to make you dread the empty house across the street; to make you wonder what lurks in the woods behind the park and question the smile of your kind, elderly neighbor. A new employee uncovers his workplace's top-secret supernatural history. A little girl unknowingly invites a sinister creature into her family's home through conversations with her "imaginary" friend. A hellish virus brings a cursed town's populace back from the dead. A boy discovers something far more dangerous than Saint Nick coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve. The disappearance of a couple spurs an investigation into the dark history of monster sightings in that area. In these stories and many others, These Lonely Places takes the world you know, the world of the familiar and mundane, and turns it into a playground of ghosts, demons, harpies, and murderers. "A great collection if you are a fan of horror stories with some twists in the tail." -Annette Gisby, author of The Chosen
