Poisoned Lies: 5 Tales of Damnation
A collection of five standalone horror stories focusing on revenge and supernatural dread.
The narrative structure relies on isolated incidents rather than a connected plotline. Each tale operates independently, exploring different facets of horror. Shady Manor focuses on personal retribution gone wrong. Eternal Torment deals with grief and spiritual warfare. Siren Fog examines the perspective of the dead. Dead Times presents a survival scenario against zombies. Welcome Home involves domestic intrusion by spirits. Blair uses these varied scenarios to create a cohesive mood of unease. The stories do not require prior knowledge of any specific lore. They stand alone as complete units of fear. The collection avoids complex world-building in favor of immediate impact. This approach allows readers to experience different types of horror without commitment to a larger universe. The tone remains consistently dark and cautionary throughout the volume.
Published in 2014 by Ajm Publishing, this work sits within the tradition of digital-first horror fiction. It reflects the era when authors released individual stories for Kindle before compiling them into physical volumes. The content draws on classic American horror tropes involving ghosts, demons, and zombies.
