Titles By Pauline Yates
We all have a fascination for things that scare us—the thrill, the heart-stopping jump scares, the terrifying suspense. From the youngest age, we’re fascinated by the fiendish and furry, the creepiest critters, the naughty and the nasty. Horror is all around us, from the clowns who hide under our bed, to the things we might drag up from the brook at the bottom of the garden, and the zombies who crawl our streets.
As author, Megan Feehley, so beautifully says; there is beauty just before the terror…a silken breath taken before the spill of righteousness…the warmth of a licking flame preceding the scald.
So, close the drapes, check the locks, turn on all the lights and get comfortable. But don’t close your eyes…
Never close your eyes...

Pauline Yates
The Lost Librarian's Grave runs the gamut of horror and weird fiction, from a mutant in Chernobyl to a living monstrosity in India, from lethal curses in Japan and Greece to advice how to become a successful zombie, from an exorcist far stranger than the demons he dispatches to a civilized battle between polite sorcerers in New York City, and much more.
