📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A collection of short horror stories by Jonah Buck featuring dark supernatural tales.

Jonah Buck draws on his experience with Carrion Safari and Substratum to craft this anthology of fear. The stories are not linked by plot but by tone and theme. Each piece stands alone, offering a distinct vision of the macabre. The Kansas farm tale provides a rural horror setting, while the coven story brings in ritualistic elements. The drone narrative introduces technology into the mix of weird forces. This variety keeps the reading experience fresh despite the consistent darkness. Buck avoids lengthy exposition, focusing instead on immediate impact. The result is a book that demands attention and rewards the reader with genuine chills.
