Horror compilation BEHIND THE SHADOWS - Available in Paperback and Kindle

There just may be some evil truths to a real-time haunted covered bridge in Kingsville, Maryland.  Count Dracula is dead, and one of his cavern-bound brides is following in his dastardly footsteps, prowling Victorian London in search of a coven of her own.  Young Jessica and her Vietnam-surviving father share a sordid secret; little does Jessica’s dad know she has one more that’s about to root its ugly head.

There’s something about that carnelian-colored guitar pick which turns the average player into a fret god, but is the cost of its power worth murder?  The Death of Superman is all the rage of 1992 and Hell is about to rain from the skies upon geeks in line for second print comic books. Professional baseball player Jake Puzzella committed a crime in the name of love; the paycheck’s come due in the bottom of the sixth.  Music junkie Evan is at the end of the rope in his marriage; in the heat of passion, he fails to heed David Bowie’s caveat about Lady Grinning Soul being one’s living end.

These are some of the frights skulking inside Ray Van Horn, Jr.’s new horror collection, BEHIND THE SHADOWS. Stephen King, EC horror comics, Saturday night ghost hosts, Bram Stoker, The Twilight Zone, '80s splatter films.  All the beloved genre elements thrown into the meat grinder of Van Horn's ten tales of terror with some contemporary twists.  Behind the Shadows is coming for you from Raw Earth Ink, Van Horn, Jr.'s third book with the imprint. 

"Van Horn, Jr. takes your fondest memories, cuts the steaming hearts out of them, and feeds them to you perforce."  So declares New York Times best-selling author Michael Jan Friedman about Behind the Shadows.  None other than Chasing the Boogeyman, Becoming the Boogeyman and Memorials best-selling author, Richard Chizmar glows, "Had a blast with Behind the Shadows!  Scary, smart and entertaining!"
