Review & Description
In the tradition of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" by Alvin Schwartz, "They're Coming For You: Scary Stories that Scream to be Read: Bloody Valentine Edition" is a chilling collection of 14 "love" stories from O. Penn-Coughin.
In some cases these stories have to do with the horrors of love, but mostly it just comes down to the love of horror. This macabre mix of howls, humor, horror, and heartache is a must have for anyone who loves to be scared. But take the warning seriously... This book is NOT for wimps!
Serving as a sampler of sorts, most of the tales in this anthology appear in the first three volumes of "They're Coming For You." A brand new story, "Such Sweet Sorrow," is a little change of pace in the form of a pararoma. (Yuck! But the theme here is love after all.) Closing out the collection is the short novel "Vampire Ghost: The Short Life and Many Deaths of Harry 'Dead Baby' Wilson." This one’s a kind of otherworldly murder mystery.
"I have seen the face of horror, and its name is O. Penn-Coughin." -- Jan Boemann
