If you haven't checked out the Horrorscope anthology series brilliantly assembled and lovingly edited by H. Everend, you are missing out on some wicked horror shorts by some talented writers.
As with the rest of the series, there's something for everyone. A few personal favorites from Volume 3:
Sometimes It's About the Process by Jason A. Jones - a twisted artist puts together a body of work...
Pork Chops and Mac & Cheese by Ivan Lopez - a murderous couple displays their unique gourmet talents...
Gem & I by LaShane Arnett - an excellent yarn about a young pair of twins whose abusive grandfather thinks they are the devil, so they set out to show him how devilish they can be...
Just a Pinch Better by Konn Lavery - a man diagnosed with cancer is saddled with more than your average disease...
The Actor and His Roommate by Rachel M. Shannon - the partner of a 50s era actor makes some fairy tale wishes on his lover's behalf, but what happens when it's never enough to satisfy?...
Sweet Tooth by Scott Mc Gregor - an overtly obtuse man takes forever to realize just what is so odd about his new roommate...
Mrs. Betty by Zary Fekete - a bullied schoolgirl finds an unexpected champion in the school lunch lady...
Playing with Fire by Greta T. Bates - a force of nature walks into a bar and finds a new partner in crime...
In Too Deep by Dave Musson - a diver overcomes a fear of water to experience their first ocean dive; a deft confluence of two classic horror stories and, for me, scary as hell.
The Pisces Brothers by Bethany Russo - a pair of strange fishmongers set up shop in a small town and people start disappearing...
The Tour by Emma Jamieson - a woman takes a solo tour of a murder house; a nice mic drop to end this volume.
