Running Wild Novella Anthology Volume 2, Part 1 (First Edition, First)

Dustin Blakeman presents a collection of supernatural fiction in Running Wild Novella Anthology Volume 2, Part 1. This volume gathers disparate narratives that explore dark themes through varied lenses. Readers encounter a former child mercenary tasked with rescuing two children from death in the story titled The Juneborn. Another piece, The Apologies, follows characters who remain unapologetic as they deal with their difficult lives. The collection also includes a follow-up to Sodom and Gomorrah on a Saturday Night, continuing previous narrative threads. Blakeman organizes these stories into an eclectic arrangement that defies simple categorization. The work draws on gothic traditions and supernatural elements to create unsettling atmospheres. It suits readers who enjoy complex character studies within horror frameworks. Those seeking straightforward plot resolutions may find the ambiguous nature of these tales less satisfying. The anthology offers a glimpse into darker corners of human experience without offering easy comfort. This first edition, published by Running Wild Press in 2018, stands as a specific entry in Blakeman’s bibliography. It appeals to fans of literary horror who appreciate nuanced storytelling over visceral shock. The book does not cater to those preferring classic monster tales or clear moral distinctions. Instead, it invites readers to sit with discomfort and ambiguity. The inclusion of Sodom and Gomorrah on a Saturday Night suggests a blending of biblical reference with modern cynicism. This volume remains a distinct artifact of contemporary horror publishing.
