$2.99

Love, Lust & Scary Monsters;
An anthology filled with different stories from various authors in aid of Muscular Dystrophy ♥
The Craze - Ellie Williams,
Emily James, Emzi to those who knew her was not just your local shop owner; she was a lovely and passionate young woman who had a dream to take the kids off the streets and put them back into the game. But things didn’t pan out the way she and her husband planned. Things hadn’t picked up at the game shop in a couple of weeks, and it got worse when all this crap about a Craze swept the world and the small valley town of Abercafan where she resided.
Clowns everywhere began walking the streets and terrorising the locals all over the world. Some said it was to do with a new movie for Halloween, but this was a rebellion. Stupid, bored kids and young men with no jobs who thought it would be funny to get on the bang waggon petrified the town. Curfews were enforced, arrests were made, but the clown's sightings continued.
It seemed at first it was a random attack for Emily when she’d seen him on her doorstep after her encounter at the canal. But then a third time he was waiting for her at the end of the lane. He even charged her, and she fell to the floor, dragging her poor distraught son to the ground with her. It was no longer a coincidence for Emzi now. He was specifically targeting her as far as she was concerned. And then she made a choice to make a stand. She searches for him. Puts herself in situations where he might find her, but he doesn’t show. Until that unsuspecting day, she’s on her way home from work with her son Riley, and he’s waiting for her. And not just him but a friend too. Both masked. Unidentifiable. He’s coming for her, and this time it’s final. Emzi refuses to be scared anymore, and he doesn’t want to play. The Craze will end here for everyone.
Kara's Halloween Dreams - Annabeth Johnson,
Masks, handsome men, Haunted houses and a masquerade ball...
A recipe for the perfect Halloween night....
A daydream so real, you can almost touch and taste it
but.. what happens when the daydream ends.
Will Kara choose to live in her dreams, or go out and chase them?
Rowboat for Two - Kari Holloway,
Darien Payne could be anywhere but instead he's scouting for stray and stranded critters on his family's ranch. How could he resist when the girl next door is the one who volunteered? A chance to stare and to laugh, leads to beneath the branches of the willow tree and the beginning of something.
Doctor Hot Stuff! - T.L Wainwright,
With an distinct dislike for hospitals, Katie is a little peeved when her work colleague stitches her up, nominating her to represent the company. Armed with choccies and flowers, she bites the bullet and visits old Audrey from accounts in her hospital bed. The last thing she expects is to end up being a patient herself under the very lip smacking, breath hitching, knee quivering, Doctor Davies. Better get your thermometer out. The temperature is about to sore.
Beast Within - B. Sharpe,
Alice reluctantly finds herself investigating her childhood home, a place she neither remembers nor wants anything to do with. Her best friend, level headed Orphne, tags along for moral support. Together, they find the abandoned house derelict... and maybe haunted. But is it the house that's haunted? Or Alice herself?
