A darkened highway stretches toward a forgotten motel where newlyweds discover that some places keep more than just guests. In a small Iowa town, a woman inherits a house haunted by local legends, only to learn that death does not always mean an ending. Across a city plunged into total darkness, rats emerge from the sewers and strange terrors stalk the streets after midnight.
These tales weave through Gothic echoes, campfire whispers, and the shadow of classic horror literature. A magician's box swallows a young woman in 1923, a black hearse hunts for lost souls along Old Hawkeye Road, and a doll's wish may come with a terrible price. Each story lingers at the edge of reason, where the familiar world begins to fray.
Some mysteries remain unresolved, because terror rarely follows a simple path. Whether dreadful, uncanny, grotesque, or strangely beautiful, these stories invite readers to linger in that strange territory where laughter and unease exist side by side. The night holds secrets, and after midnight, the cabinet of horrors opens its doors.
All stories written by Michael McCarty, or by Michael McCarty in collaboration with Sandy DeLuca, R.L. Fox, Heidi Hernadez, Teri Jacobs, Cindy McCarty, Scott Morschhauser, Edgar Allan Poe, Michael Romkey, and Bruce Walters.
