Frost Zone Stories, Book #4. AUTUMN 2026 – New Story by Lawrence Dagstine

I’m pleased to announce that I have a brand new paranormal story set in my hometown in BOOK 4 of Frost Zone Stories. I don’t know whether to describe this as a book or a journal. It’s really nice. Contents put together professionally. Quality. So I’ll throw it up in both Books-Anthos & Magazines. Frost Zone Stories describe themselves as a publisher of ghostly/supernatural fiction they like to call “Quiet Horror.” And boy oh boy, do I have a haunting, atmospheric tale for you. It takes place in the heart of Times Square soon after the Nixon/Watergate scandal. High crime levels. The Son of Sam. The NYC Blackout. Yes, the 1970s! And everything in this tale, the businesses and places mentioned… These are real establishments. I grew up not too far from here. The age of Triple X movie theaters and drug-dealing pubs and arcades, long before it became the Disneyland that it is today. This is all real history here (well, minus the ghosts). I’ll leave all pics and essential links below, like I usually do. Read my “New York Horror” story: “The Bar that Remembered.”

The Orange & Bee | Substack Publication – Professional Venue for Magical Stories and Fairy Tales…

I have a professional credit (8 to 10 cents per word) in the Substack publication, The Orange & Bee. It’s a flash fiction piece, and this would be my third pro credit the past three years. The Orange & Bee is a venue with thousands of subscribers. They seem to update their newsletter-like publication on a weekly basis, and their mission is to publish stories aimed at enchanting readers. They offer critiquing services, and have something called writing and reading “roundtables.” They also seek contemporary short stories inspired by a long tradition of fairy tales. But they celebrate all styles and genres, as they aim to explore, expand on, and subvert the rich traditions of international folklore. They publish poetry and non-fiction, too. According to them, they look at stories that stretch between the shadows. Which is good, because my story this time around falls into this category (along with the theme of loss and grief). Read my flash fiction story, “Shadow Play.” In the Oct. 24th 2025 edition of The Orange & Bee…
