Welcome to Bloody Twine #5, a collection of short horror stories written specifically for horror fans everywhere. This book contains 10 traditional short horror stories for your terrifying entertainment, so go someplace quiet, dim the lights, sit back, and enjoy some twisted tales with twisted endings. Here is a brief description of just a few of the grim tales you will encounter within this collection: Survivors of a nuclear holocaust are trapped inside a rural home by a pack of vicious wolves. A little boy is terrorized by a malignant shadow on his bedroom wall. Six teenage girls at a slumber party decide to summon a demon. An axe-murdering serial killer dressed as Santa runs afoul of the real Saint Nick. Stragglers in a rainstorm find a mysterious hotel that imprisons an ancient evil. This is just a taste of what's hidden within the dark pages of this book. There are more terrifying tales awaiting within, dear reader. Imagine walking into an abandoned storage room filled with old newspapers and magazines, all articles stacked in bundles neatly tied with twine, but then you discover other bundles, bundles not so neatly tied, ragged bundles of yellowed and partially-charred paper tied in bloodstained twine. You see, some stories are meant to educate, and some stories are meant to entertain, but some stories...some stories are simply looking for a victim. Enjoy. Mr. Marlott has a background in psychology and classic literature, and he enjoys literature of all types and genres. Mr. Marlott lives somewhere within the United States, has two Gen-Z children, and enjoys telling stories to anyone who will listen.
