Alone at Midnight

Seven frightening tales you’ll want to read with the lights on. Scott Zavoda masterfully weaves horror into everyday life without all the blood-n-guts. “It reminded me of Tales From the Crypt or The Twilight Zone,” quotes one Amazon reviewer. “He creates wonderful characters who I immediately connected with,” says another. A Vietnam Vet’s diary turns up beneath a California pier. The confessions within are eerie to say the least. “Beneath the Sand” Henry Conroy pilots a Navajo across the stormy Midwest with a coffin in the back. He knows the sooner he gets there, the sooner that scratching sound will stop. “Fright Flight” Danny and disabled brother, Bobby only want to fish at Grady Pond when someone with a grudge shows up. This is the gut-wrenching tale of two young brothers who suffer an abusive father and constant bullying at school. But a wheelchair with a strange history can change everything. “Bobby” Randy gets a phone call two days before Christmas from a stranger who claims Randy stole his Christmas tree. What Randy discovers is a tradition he’d rather have forgotten. “Oh Christmas Tree” Trapped in a, bloody, decaying land, the hot breath of his pursuer lathers his neck. Jimmy wants to believe he doesn’t know where he is, but he knows very well. “Castle Point“ “Flowers for Mom” and “The Calling” are two more stories with an evil twist. “Scott Zavoda's Alone at Midnight is comparable to Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts, in my opinion. He knows how to pack in a gripping-the-edge-of-your-seat story into only a few pages.” –Amazon Reviewer- “I'm a shorts junkie. These are the best I've read in quite a long time.” –Amazon Reviewer- “Watch out Stephen King, Scott Zavoda is here on the scene.” –Amazon Reviewer-
