Update--"Horror Bites Magazine Issue #7" is Available!

 

     I'm very pleased to announce that the latest issue of "Horror Bites Magazine" is ready to be purchased.  Here's the amazon page address:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076KF8CXQ
Also, there's a special deal going on.  The first 5 people can get the issue for free, using this address:  https://gumroad.com/l/hbm7  (I'm told this might be expanded, too.)
     I'd like to thank the head of Horror Bites, who is Kelby J. Barker.  He's responsible for the formatting, editing, administrative acts, and odd jobs for this issue.  Also assisting was guest editor Walker Kornfeld.  The cover art and the featured story were done by Maeltopia.
     Here's a list of the featured stories:

1) "Death Bed Scenes" by Ken Goldman
2) "Costumes" by Clark Roberts
3) "Tabula Rasa" by myself
4) "The Assassination" by James Gallagher
5) "The Staring Contest" by Em Leonard
6) "The Family Man" by Maeltopia
7) "Bloody Maria" by Kevin M. Folliard
8) "The Bane of Dave" by Eric Neher
9) "Janus, God of Doorways" by Erik Bergholm

    And here's the synopses for some of the stories:

A) At a Halloween sleepover, a group of young girls experiment with a well known urban legend.  As it turns out, no matter how good your costume is, Bloody Mary does not appreciate pretenders ("Bloody Maria")

B) The best costumes truly turn you into something else, but when the family of two young children allow them to sleep in their costumes the transformation becomes a little too complete.  What are you to do when your little girl really becomes a monster on All Hallows Eve? ("Costumes")

C) While art is sometimes said to have a soul of its own, the "Living Art" scene takes this to its extreme.  Yet when humiliation and mutilation become an art form, things are bound to get messy.  ("Tabula Rasa")

D) As a man becomes more and more disassociated with his environment, he gets summoned into a meeting with his boss.  This assignment is of a different, more deadly kind.

E) When a man's deadbeat father passes away, the son is left with a key to a false compartment in the family cabin.  What lies inside is more than just the dying regrets of a penniless man, but something more....personal.
