Description:

Midsummer's Nightmare - the 2010 Daily Dose

Things that go bump in the night

 

Lay down and close your eyes to dream this night.
A wolf is howling at the full gold moon;
the blood in your veins will begin to pound.
A nightmare will o'ertake you very soon--
vampires, werewolves, the ghosts that haunt the eaves
rise up to rent what joy they hunt and find.
But with the pulse, wild passion is aroused.
These handsome men will tease and flaunt and grind
against the things that go bump in the night.
At dawn the sun will rise and evil flees;
it leaves the well-known truth bare to the light:
night is shortest, hottest, in the summer,
and love will banish night's consuming fright.

 

The Midsummer's Nightmare package presents 30 M/M stories of supernatural romance that may feature an edge of suspense and heart-pounding fear; a taste of the paranormal worlds of ghosts, vampires, and werewolves; and even the stuff of nightmares and dreamscapes. Stories range from 3,500 to 18,000 words.

 

Summer reading fun! Over 1,500 pages of fiction selling individually for $80.70 available as a single downloaded zip file for 32% off.

The Wounds in the Walls  $3.99


By Heidi Cullinan


Pete Eason’s been hit by the downturn in the economy just like everyone else, so when he gets the word that some guy named Mike Clarke needs a day laborer to clear our a rural Missouri house, he doesn’t ask too many questions before he takes the job. But Pete quickly learns that there’s something funny going on at this site. For one, Pete’s the only laborer Mike hired, and from what Pete can see, this place needs a bulldozer, not a Dumpster. Mike doesn’t so much as hand Pete a shovel, either—he seems to be hinting that the place is haunted. Pete doesn’t feel any goose bumps, and he sure as hell doesn’t see any ghosts. He’s dying, though, to know what all the gashes in the walls are about.


Mike can’t see the gashes, and he’s frustrated that Pete can’t see the ghost standing right beside him, because the whole point of bringing Pete here was to release the trapped spirit in this place, a spirit that by rights Pete should be able to see better than anyone. Maybe, Mike thinks, he’s made a mistake. But before he can nudge Pete a little harder, the front door disappears, the walls begin to heave, and the ghost which has always been nothing more than a shade is suddenly aggressive flesh and blood—and Mike doesn’t think he’s made a mistake anymore. He knows he has.
