Midnight in Salem: Ten Tales from the Dark Side of a Small Town (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195207106)

In the quiet corners of Southern Illinois, some stories refuse to stay buried.

Midnight in Salem is a collection of ten dark tales from a small town where the past still walks around after dark. These are not long, padded novels. They are short, sharp stories meant to be read in one sitting - the kind that leave you listening a little harder to the quiet in your own house.

Inside these pages you'll find:

• An abandoned factory where the night shift never truly ended
• A beauty shop mirror that still reflects faces that aren't there
• A disfigured mechanic who stalks the backroads with ruined hands
• A glowing fireball that drifts through old farmhouses
• A championship basketball game that continues in an empty gym decades after the players died
• Something ancient waiting patiently beneath an old Victorian

Set against the real landscape of Southern Illinois, these stories explore the shadows that linger in small towns long after the streetlights flicker off.

If you like regional horror, small-town ghost stories, and short fiction that stays with you, this collection is for you.
