Newt's Nightmares

Greetings, my wicked darlings!

Ah, don't fall out of your coffins! I know you're seeing another newsletter from yours truly so soon. No, the sun in Crete hasn't boiled my brain. I'm just too giddy to not share Nickie At Nite's audio renditions of "Tales of the Macabre, Vol. 1."

I've already devoured her take on "The Grimsdyke Ghouls," a narrative so chilling it could freeze hell over, complete with a painting that's a masterpiece in macabre. Followed by "The Black Fog"—another gem. Hearing these stories through another's twisted lens was an ear-candy I didn't know I needed. And trust me, you'll want a taste.

Your ole’ pal, Newt.

My Girl, by JF Garrard, FREE download.

Brightside, by Mark Tullius, FREE to buy on Amazon.

Joe hates his life. His ability to read minds gets him thrown into Brightside, a prison town far from society. Sure, he gets a new girlfriend, but the oppressive environment combined with their exposed thoughts increasingly wears at their relationship over time.

After a horrible tragedy, some of the telepaths decide to make their escape. But they’re up against a vicious pack of guards who see the prisoners as dangerous freaks. Can the group’s unique abilities free them from Brightside's oppressive confines, or are they doomed to live in captivity and slowly lose their minds?

Death Hunt, by Daniel Willcocks, FREE download.

Donavon Oslow is troubled. A new father living on the borders of a rural town in Alaska’s harshest northern borders, he battles his demons by seeking release from the bottom of the bottle.

Taunted by the voice of his late-father, Donavon glimpses hope when the fabled White Stag—an albino sitka blacktail—appears at the edge of the forest. His sights set on the beast, breaking through every obstacle in his path to take down the White Stag.

Nothing will stand the way of his path to glory, or so he thinks… Donavon’s priorities are pushed to the limit as his hunt for the White Stag tests his love, his life, and the uncertain future he has built for himself.

House of Mud, by Joseph J Dowling, FREE download.

Mud.

It got everywhere.

Clung to their possessions and sneaked into places Suzie never realized mud could reach. She remembered a time when she’d thought sand was a pain in the ass, but never again in her miserable existence would she complain about a little beach-crotch.

It’d been so different when they’d arrived on the godforsaken plot, full of excitement and hope, long before the earth spat out those old bones. It seemed like yesterday and forever ago.
