Did You Check the Deadbolts?

Welcome to a world of horror, mystery, poetic justice (comeuppance?), and humor. You’ll meet people living seemingly ordinary lives, who learn that their twisted activities - or the activities of other people they know (or people they just happen to notice) - have unexpected meanings in life, death, and/ or among the undead. Be careful, they’ll do whatever they have to do to protect their secrets. They could even be your neighbors...they seem so nice!
This collection includes a story of a trail ride - on horseback, where helping someone is the last thing one may ever do; an international mystery, allegedly written by one of the characters (who was later found dead cause unknown in their jail cell); someone who needs a place to hide; a cautionary poem for those who blow caution to the wind, and then some. In a posthumous memoir you’ll meet a family that even death can’t separate; and a morbid tale illustrating a danse macabre among a mother and her children. Then there’s gossip - thanks to a neighbor - of wifey walking in on hubby and his darling.
There’s more in this collection of short stories, poetry, morality tales, and new urban legends. Of course, none of this could really happen, could it? Well, lock up, and get ready to enjoy the evening. What was that?! Only the wind, or tree branches scraping against the window, or some animal frantically scratching the front door, or an unidentifiable figure in the vestibule...
Once you’ve read, Did You Check the Deadbolts? you may want to bar the windows, too.
