About William Sterling

William Sterling is an independent author who hails from the darkest depths of Georgia.

While I do love a good, grim, dark descent into the depraved hearts of mankind, my books play more in the realms of "popcorn flick horror" with a soft spot for unexpected endings.

Killer Be Killed May 10, 2022

by William Sterling

( 2 )

$3.99

KILLER BE KILLED is a reverse camp slasher novel.

Boone Hampton had been dreading this day forever. The day when his baby girl would leave "the nest" to embark into the world on her own. He had hoped this moment wouldn’t come until college, or maybe a rebellious streak in high school, yet here he was, leaving her at a pre-teen summer camp.

Boone squeezes his daughter’s hands one last time and lets her go.

The day would have been hard enough if it had just ended there.

But now the counselors at Camp Green Pines have begun sacrificing the campers to resurrect a long-slumbering demonic entity, and Boone will have to risk everything to avenge his daughter.

Killer Be Killed takes the traditional camp serial killer formula and turns it on its head in a Splatterpunk-light homage to the slashers of the 80s with healthy doses of demonic possession and anti-cult related sub-plots cooked in for good measure.

Lanyards On. Masks Up. Machetes Out.

It's time to play some camp games.

"A killing spree to remember. Kick back, forget trying to guess what's coming, and enjoy the carnage!"
-Mike Clark; Author of the PATIENCE OF A DEAD MAN trilogy

"Just when you think you know the rules, the Slasher genre rises again, more powerful than before. Equal parts homage to the classics and a road map to the future of the genre, Sterling's KILLER BE KILLED is frightening and funny, horrifying, and full of heart as it endlessly morphs and evolves, bringing threats both personal and universal. This is not to be missed."
-James Sabata; Author of FAT CAMP and THE CASSOWARY

Prepare for a lethal dose of terror…

A young boy’s art takes a sinister turn when the monstrous creature from his drawings reaches into the real world. The clues to a fiendishly clever crossword puzzle predict a series of tragedies for a witch’s nosy neighbors. And a creepy old doll brings pain and misfortune to a woman struggling to cope with her mother’s illness…

As you’re about to go under the knife, Scare Street’s latest collection of supernatural horror is the morphine you need. This new volume holds thirteen tales of bone-chilling terror. More than enough to send a shock though your system.

Goosebumps, nightmares, shivers running down your spine… The physiological symptoms of fear infest your body. Just relax as your demonic nurse tightens the straps on the operating table. The doctor is in, and he’s ready to begin the operation.

All you need is a good old-fashioned scream—and this just so happens to be this sinister surgeon’s specialty. So, shall we begin?

This is going to hurt a little. Or a lot…
