Greetings. This post marks the end of three months of writing, editing, and formatting a new collection that brings together old and new stories. Psychological Horror Stories: A Collection of Psychological Horror Fiction for Adults is a 364 page collection of my best psychological horror stories. The collection is the omnibus edition of a 4-volume series and all covers are illustrated by artist and author, Jeffrey Kosh (see right sidebar for link). Some of the stories are from previous series, Serial Killer Thrillers, which have been rewritten/edited and are now included as part of this series (Serial Killer Thrillers is still available as a single-volume) print/kindle edition collection).
Psychological Horror Stories: A Collection of Psychological Horror Fiction for Adults
Psycho killers, haunted spirits, evil creatures
conjured from the depths of hell and disturbed ghouls haunt the pages of this terrifying
collection of psychological horror stories.
Disturbing love stories, psychopathic
existentialism, spirits thirsty for vengeance, demons hunting for fresh souls
and a perverse array of other grotesqueries are the subjects of these twisted
tales.
*Note* All volumes contain R18+ material not
suitable for minors. Includes depictions of graphic violence and scenes of
horror.

For those of you who have read my work before, I thank you sincerely and hope that you enjoy (if you choose to get this collection) the redux versions of older stories and the new ones included.
Best wishes and hope these tales keep you entertained in these weird, uncertain times (please share this post with your networks).
