Texas Roadkill Volume 3: Texas Horror by Texas Writers

Er Bills compiles a collection of horror stories set in Texas, emphasizing the region's unique capacity for terror. The anthology features contributions from writers such as Jeremy Hepler, Madison Estes, and Bret McCormick. Each tale explores distinct macabre scenarios rooted in local folklore and contemporary dread. One narrative follows a meth dealer in the Piney woods who attempts to clone Adolf Hitler. Another story involves an eyeball collector who becomes the victim of his own obsession. The collection also includes accounts of supernatural retribution, such as the ghost of a lynching victim pursuing his executioners. A lawman confronts shadows from his past, while another plot centers on Baphomet recruiting converts at a summer camp. These stories demonstrate why horror feels particularly intense in this geographic setting. The book suits readers who appreciate regional horror and supernatural fiction with specific cultural contexts. It may not appeal to those seeking universal or abstract horror themes detached from place. The anthology is organized around the concept that everything is bigger in Texas, including its nightmares. Bills curates works that highlight the intersection of American gothic traditions and local legends. The contributors bring diverse voices to the genre, creating a cohesive yet varied reading experience. This volume offers a glimpse into the darker side of Texan life through the lens of horror writers who understand the landscape's inherent menace.
