Hellbound Books Publishing: “Anthology of Folk Horror” – Edited by Jae Mazer, new story by Lawrence Dagstine!

I have a brand new folk horror story in this big anthology just released in time for Halloween by Hellbound Books Publishing and edited by Jae Mazer. Technically, you can even consider it one part “Horror-Mance.” Think supernatural folk meets dark romance. It’s called Hellbound Books Anthology of Folk Horror. It’s got a tremendous lineup. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for creepy, seasonal, folksy fare. My story is about a single mother who dates a pumpkin man. The story is told from the perspective of her son. And this pumpkin man has a dark secret. He’s a charming guy with a classy car, and he drives a locomotive. But where do those train tracks and that locomotive in the pumpkin patch lead? To hell? Why is this creature serenading this kid’s mother? You can find out in my new story: “Mom’s New Boyfriend: The Pumpkin King.”

FLASH FICTION: “Flash of the Dead Halloween ’24 Anthology” – Wicked Shadow Press

I have a flash fiction piece in the latest seasonal/Halloween-themed anthology from Wicked Shadow Press. And the book features well over 60-plus authors, with short works ranging from 500 to 1500 words in length; my short is exactly 1000 words. And that’s what flash fiction pretty much is. It’s a very quick snippet of writing, a very short and concise piece of literature, something maybe to consume when in a doctor’s office, or on a daily commute, or when falling asleep in bed. Flash of the Dead Halloween 2024 is actually a sequel of sorts to the original (and successful) Flash of the Dead Anthology from back in 2022. I had a story in that entry as well, called Saving the Dead. This time, however, for Halloweeen 2024, my miniature tale is called, “Angel Hunter.”
