Alphabet of Desire by British Fantasy Award-winner and 80s-era Fear Magazine editor John Gilbert (ISFDB), a collection of his short stories.

Strange curses, unnatural gifts and a spectre with a mission populate the second collection of horror stories from British Fantasy Award winner John Gilbert.

Award-winning journalist and author John Gilbert is the Managing Editor of FEAR Magazine. Alphabet of Desires is his second short story collection and is published as a prelude to his novel PassOver.

Cider Mill Vampires & This Town Eats Everything & Ghost Fist by Alan Spencer (ISFDB), 1st & 2nd in his humorous-looking Caleb Anthony paranormal tabloid reporter series, and 4th in his Shocker action/horror mashup series, respectively. These appear to be self-published, but Spencer is a Samhain-published author from whom we've previously received an official Samhain horror freebie, so if you liked his writing from that, you may wish to give a try to these.

The town of Smithville, Kansas, is nationally praised for its award winning apple cider. But all that changes when a group of vampires overrun the friendly cider mill. Soon, something else red and delicious will flow from these apple presses, and it's up to Caleb Anthony, a writer for "The Weekly Spectacle Digest" (a paranormal tabloid magazine) to stop the vampires from carrying on with their malevolent crimes. But will he too be "processed" before anyone can be saved?

Ghosts of Chernobyl by Donna Burgess (ISFDB), a horror-ish sfnal short. Burgess has had a few short stories published in minor outlets.

When Anton was a young man, his grandfather gave him a magical elixir called “The Dancing Water,” guaranteed to cure any ailment. But when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred, Anton was forced to leave everything behind in his home in Pripyat –including “The Dancing Water.”

Years later, when his twin sister, Elena, is stricken with cancer, Anton is forced to reenter the Chernobyl contamination zone where ghosts of his long dead family lurk the shadows of the abandoned city.

Some say you can never go home again. But maybe you can, after all.
