High Stakes HORROR: A WATG Press Dark Anthology
What would you risk for one more chance?
A fortune. Your future. Your identity. Your soul.
In High Stakes HORROR, nineteen chilling tales explore the deadly cost of temptation, ambition, greed, desperation, and survival. Every story begins with a wager, a challenge, a gamble, or a choice. And every choice comes with consequences.
A gambler wins a cursed prize that refuses to stay buried. A mysterious coin offers luck at a horrifying price. A young man dares to speak his name to a darkness that steals more than words. A desperate swimmer risks crocodile-infested waters for wealth and revenge. An ambitious archaeologist uncovers an ancient warning that should never have been translated.
Elsewhere, contestants compete for a crown where losing means far more than elimination. A simple poker game becomes a deadly proposition. A cursed artifact stalks those who discover it. Hidden predators wait in shadows, forests, carnivals, rivers, and even among those we trust most.
From supernatural terror and folk horror to psychological suspense and creature features, these stories prove that every bet carries a cost.
Featuring stories by Ryan Colley, PatrÃcia Sá, Sheri White, Robert Hanover, Amber Willis, Adele Liles, J. Rocky Colavito, John Davis, Charlotte Poitras, Petra F. Bagnardi, Robb White, Conner McAleese, Elisabeth May, Akifa Shazzad Prova, Adam DelRey, Andrea Tillmanns, and Demi Michelle Schwartz.
Step up to the table.
Place your bet.
And pray you're not wagering more than you can afford to lose.
