About Nick Botic
Nick Botic is an author and publisher from Milwaukee, WI. Following a stay in a rehabilitation facility in order to rid himself of a years-long heroin addiction, Nick began writing after discovering the Reddit community r/NoSleep. His first series, an 8-part saga about a hotel worker, received rave reviews, and prompted him to continue writing.
Since then, he has written over 100 short stories and series, including the viral, award-winning hit “Daughter’s Drawings“. His stories consistently find their way to the top 5 spots on the 13 million-plus member Reddit community, often receiving awards. His work has been published in over 10 collections, including his own anthologies “The Things We Fear” and “An Ode To Terror” and his novella “A Halloween In Glarus“.
Towards the end of 2018, Nick ventured into the world of publishing. His first release, the erotic horror anthology “Goregasm“, reached the top 10 in the new releases category on Amazon, while David Feuling’s “The American Demon Waltz” has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews.
In 2019, Nick has secured adaptation deals, with several of his stories in various stages of production. His next release, the 25-author anthology “Sirens at Midnight” is due July 1st, and has already been met with positive reception.
Nick plans to continue balancing the responsibilities as publisher while also writing new material to keep his fans happy and horrified.

Blog post“Honey! Kids! Get in here, hurry!”
In my sixteen years of life I’ve never heard my dad’s voice sound like that. He was afraid.
I had been reeling after the wifi gave out while I was in the middle of an online game, but the urgency in my dad’s voice drowned out my annoyance. I rushed downstairs and into the living room where I joined my parents and younger sister Jenna. Trailing behind me was our little brother Adam. Following my parent’s lead, I focused my attention on the tel11 months ago Read more -

Blog postYou probably think you’ve heard every scary “we went on vacation to a cabin” story ever told, but I promise you, you’ve never heard anything like what happened to my wife and I. There were no ghosts, no demons, no madmen stalking us through the woods.
I mean, at least as near as I can tell there weren’t.
No, our tribulations occurred at the hands (or…paws? Hooves? Wings? All of the above?) of the wilderness itself, and it’s agents.

Blog post“Letters From Ben” is a story that holds a special place in my heart. It’s a genuinely emotional story (to me, anyway), that I wrote in remembrance of my late best friend Ben. He wasn’t murdered by a psychopath, but he did fall victim to depression and an uncertainty of how to continue living. If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, or just simply needs someone to talk to, there are countless resources at your disposal, myself included.

Sirens at Midnight
If someone screams in the forest and no one is around, will they regret ever making a sound?
Stepping into the forest, you're surrounded by the natural grandeur of a world which has no need of you. The silence is so heavy that you can hear your blood thundering through your veins. The stir of dry leaves in the darkness could be your friend finding his way back, but it sounds more like a primordial monster stalking its prey. And the lights between the trees? And the haunting songs which lure you ever deeper?
It's time to admit that you aren't afraid of being alone in the woods. You're afraid of not being alone.
Journey through the minds of 22 horror authors who have teamed up to reveal the most terrifying aspects of the forest. Over 400 pages of original supernatural and psychological horror stories include: ghosts, demons, serial-killers, true stories and unsolved mysteries, unique monsters, classic myths and legends, and above all else, a profound respect for the terror hidden within the mysterious trees.
