SUMMER'S END



I can smell it in the air...
A faint hint of distant moisture...
And to me it means one thing...
Summer's End!

AMN





SUMMER'S END

(Norman, Oklahoma)


Come on, summer season... your time is almost up and the cool weather should be here soon!
Furry things of the darkness in the bog, and the trees, and of the mist, need the wet weather change!
The harsh heat and the even harsher humidity chases away the animals I need for my blood meals!
Soon I will have to turn to stalking humans again... I don't want to... but, a creature has to eat!

BUZZ OFF


The Zika Virus is here, too.
And when you hear the little monster that carries the virus,
The last thing you want to do is sleep if it is on the loose!
You need to do more than simply tell it to... Buzz Off!

AMM





BUZZ OFF

(Queenstown, Singapore)


...It is presently 4:23 AM, on a Wednesday morning, and Doris Burke is now tortuously awake!
She was awakened from a dead sleep by the ultra-high pitched buzz of a mosquito near her head!
Primal instinct kicked in to startle her awake... and now she is hankered down under her comforter.
For the 10th time she uttered these words as a curse, "Oh my fucking god, why me!"... as she contemplates whether to get up and kill the goddamn monster, or continue to cower under her covers like a little girl and not get any more sleep tonight!...

AMM

THE DEAD LIVE IN THEIR BEDS


Regardless of the sounds of zombie-like carnage out there on the street,
You're not about to climb out of your bed this early in the morning!
Inside of houses like yours,
The Dead Live In Their Beds!

ELL





THE DEAD LIVE IN THEIR BEDS

(Washington, DC)


You're not really dead!
You're just old and run down and feel like you've died!
You've lived a life of cutting through a whole lot of horror bullshit!
And right now, you don't even want to get out of bed... even as the screams of terror assault you from outside your apartment door!

I WANT YOU TO WANT ME TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD (AN EXCERPT)


She is thirsty/hungry again!
And her last meal died last night!
Tonight, she goes out on the hunt... again!
And she will give her prey one chance when she asks him,
I Want You To Want Me To Drink Your Blood!

RLJ





I WANT YOU TO WANT ME TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD  (AN EXCERPT)

(Brooklyn, New York City)


...What is creepy and weird to one person might be cool and acceptable to another person!
Mary Putin has faced this issue in her life for decades... and she is tired of trying to change men's minds!
Even though she is a one hundred year old vampire, she has learned to control her feral murderous bloodlust ways!
The only way is to convince men that she is simply a vampire fetishist... and they can be her object... of her bloodlust... and they can live, or they can die!...

THE FOURTH LINE OF HORROR TIMES TWO, AGAIN



(Presenting: two horror tales of death that teaches us all that... 
Death Is Not As Final As We Have Been Led To Believe It Is!)


___________________________________________



Story number 1 of 2 for today... 
A proxy for yesterday's absent horror tale!


***

Every once upon a time,
A human turned homicidal zombie will retain much of its intelligence.
Regular humans have no tolerance for its very existence!
Scientist and doctors, on the other hand, have great interest in such a being.
And in the end, it does not matter one bit about... A Dead Man's Pain!

ABZ





A DEAD MAN'S PAIN

(Allentown, Pennsylvania)


Even though you think you are indestructible, you really are not!
A dead man feels no pain, but a living-dead man still has to know his physical limits!
We empathize with your desire to get out there and "live" among the living!
But, until you come to terms with the fact that humans will burn to death on sight, and that you still cannot control your urge to eat people, you must remain in that cage!

ABZ





******************************



Story 2 of 2 for today!


***


A good woman, who is a good wife and a good mother, is murdered!
Her killer committed the horrifically bloody crime in the underground parking lot of her job!
The circumstances of her death are still a mystery... and the murderer has yet to be captured!
There is something unknown to the general public that is very strange about this crime!
The first clue comes tonight at 11:59 PM at the front door of her former house on Mapp Lane!
It is there where the shocked and surprised adult resident exclaimed...
You Were Dead The Last Time I Saw You!

PAD





YOU WERE DEAD THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU

(Lewiston, Maine)


Maxine, what the hell are you doing knocking on the front door of our house in the middle of the night?
And, how in the hell are you here... we buried you at Riverside Cemetery three months ago!
You're telling me you've come back to hunt down the man who murdered you... and you need my help?
What... Why... How... we need to take off those rotted cloths... and give your mummified skin a bath... figure out how you are alive... and oh my god, you're back to me!

WIDE AWAKE DURING THE WITCHING HOUR (AN EXCERPT)


The frogs are croaking and the insects are creaking in the pitch black night!
All of this activity is happening just outside the bedroom window!
And Tammy is... Wide Awake During The Witching Hour!

AKN






WIDE AWAKE DURING THE WITCHING HOUR  (AN EXCERPT)

Harrisonburg, Virginia)


..Tammy Strickland is wide awake, lying in her bed, staring up into the black abyss that is her ceiling!
Today was another hot August day at work and she was practically counting the passing minutes!
She keenly realized that the creatures of the night in the woods behind her house wanted cooler night, too!
And when that time comes, she will join them in their annual haunting season... feral and full of blood lust!...

OH, I REMEMBER THIS HORROR


What if a civilian decided to run for the Presidency! 
And suppose, in reality, he has insane aspirations of being Hitler?
And suppose everybody saw his insanity,
But no one really did a goddamn thing about it, but talk about it!
 What should be done to stop the madness?
Oh, I Remember This Horror!

RLJ





OH, I REMEMBER THIS HORROR

Herndon, Virginia)


I remember a frightening horror movie by the name of... let me remember... oh, The Dead Zone!
And, oh yea... that awesome movie was made from still another fantastic Stephen King horror tale!
Directed by horror master David Cronenberg, he also made other horror masterpieces like, for example, THE FLY!
And when I cringe in fear over the surreality of the USA's current political horror show, I think back to The Dead Zone, Johnny Smith and (oh my god) Greg Stillson!

SOMETIMES DEATH WILL LET YOU COME BACK



When a man is murdered in a fashion that demands revenge...
Sometimes Death Will Let You Come Back!

EAM





SOMETIMES DEATH WILL LET YOU COME BACK

(East Sussex, England)


A murdered Jason Mann yanked 11 shards of salty, dirty sharp rock from the soles of his mud caked feet.
He was presently huddled in bloody numbness with his back against the wet rock of the small cave halfway up the cliff face.
The fact that Max's thug bastards stripped him of his clothing was not the problem... but, to take away his shoes?
They thought they completely killed him when they threw him off the cliff, but little did they know the thought of horrific revenge has pulled their victim from death itself... to their own horrific deaths!

A SPECIAL HORRORWALKER WORLD HORROR TREAT -- TWO TALES TODAY



(Story one of two-- Yesterday's tale!)

***

Quinton Napier just saw someone who made his heart almost stop!
Two aisles over, in the auto accessories section, stood the object of his obsession.
This is not a love fixation... this is a murderous revenge complex!
He mumbled to himself, "You Can't Hide From Me... Even In A Walmart!







YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME... EVEN IN A WALMART  (AN EXCERPT)

(Pine Bluff, Arkansas)


...Sometimes you have to know when to let go of the horror which drives your revenge!
The media named the horror "The Coal Shaft Killer," because of where he disposed of all of his victims.
I know him as the murderer my wife and daughter... and I know who he is and what he looks like!
Sometimes you have to know when to let go of the horror which drives your revenge... until you spot the motherfucker in Walmart!...

(Story two of two -- Today's tale!)

***

The Jones family is huddled around the radio!
The TV signal died hours ago because... who know why?
Well, one reason why is all hell has broken out in the state of New York!
The countrywide panic has shut down all US civilization!
In fact, it is being floated by the government that the death toll is so bed that...
The Nukes Need To Fall!

ABJ






THE NUKES NEED TO FALL

(Fayetteville, North Carolina)


Apple Jones' mother just passed out again as the newscaster on the radio reported more of the horrific news.
He said that New York City has completely fallen to the terror inducing outbreak of the CDC named "Murder Virus!"
The city is a horror grounds of death and no suffering... the virus destroys a man's brain within one minute of infection!
We now know the murderous virus is spread by the fleas on the millions of rats in NYC... and the federal government is seriously considering dropping tactical nukes on the city!

WHEN THE CALL BELLS RING


The sounds of magic reverberate off hard to see objects in the midnight darkness. 
And there is movement, in the darkness, among the objects.
All arises... When The Call Bells Ring!

ZEL





WHEN THE CALL BELLS RING

(Shannon, Mississippi)


Oh, give me the hour of the night when the Call Bells of the deep woods witch's chime twelve times!
During that time, many of the mythological creatures of eons past... and further past... arise like magic!
They come up from the warm peat, from the tree roots, from the stagnant pools and from the shadows!
Humans do not belong here... for if the do make an appearance, then food they may become... and I might be the first to pounce!

THE FULL MOON SEASON COMETH


Even though the days are still hot,
And the nights are hot, too...
Change is coming to the air outside.
The anticipation of the upcoming full moon season is high!
For those creatures that change into beasts more feral...
The Full Moon Season Cometh!

HAJ





THE FULL MOON SEASON COMETH

(Denver, Colorado)


Hailey Jefferson could feel the change to the next season in the pores of her skin!
Pretending she was human was easier in the off seasons when the full moon hid!
When the anxious itching begins and her teeth began to lengthen and her nails became claws,
The wolf inside her begins to overtake her body and pretending she does not want to eat a human becomes less and less difficult!

COMPULSIONS


Does anybody really know what makes him, or her, tick?
People the world over spend billions of dollars a year for the answers!
We will all be on the road to sanity when we...
Finally admit that we are all flawed creatures driven by our... Compulsions!

RLJ





COMPULSIONS

(Herndon, Virginia)


You want to know what my, perhaps your, true real life horror is?
Aside from real hardcore nature horror like floods and famine and wildfires?
How about the horrors of the nature of your OCD-like compulsions!
Compulsions like, for example, the need to stave off much needed sleep to write about my own compulsions... now, that is an example of real horror!

BLOOD FOR LUST


Some people, like Albert Allen, are recklessly stupid!
There are too many horror tales that warn humans against consorting with demons!
It is more stupid to believe that a demon will freely give you what you want!
Consorting with a demon is nothing short of... Blood For Lust!

RLJ





BLOOD FOR LUST

(Santa Barbara, California)


Albert Allen thought about waiting until tomorrow to drink the grotesque goat's blood!
He needed to drink one cup of putrefied goat's blood in order to complete the satanic ritual!
Forcing a demon to make a woman love you is abjectly unnatural to hellspawn... but, it can be done!
The sacrifice is awful... death might come before the love... be it from the demon's vicious presence or from the virulent blood... either way, what a man will do for his lust for a woman!

I SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE EARTH


Sarcasm intended,
The fact that I am one of the survivors of this planet wide ecological disaster is comical!
The world has been murdered and I don't know who did it, because...
I Slept Right Through The End Of The Earth!

SKK





I SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE EARTH

(Washington, DC)


What the hell more can I say about the fact that I could sleep through a nuclear explosion.?
This time, I was watching Sunday Night Football on the TV when I simply passed out.
I awakened at 5:31 AM and was amazed by the burgundy glow streaming into the windows.
If you're reading this you already know what I discovered outside of my house... I slept through the horror carnage... I actually slept right through the end of the earth!

I PUT THE KEY TO THE DOOR




I tracked the murderous beast to this abandoned medical building.
I searched and searched until I think I finally cornered it in a room.
I reached up on the shelving above the door and behold... there was the key.
As I placed the key in the lock, all hell broke loose inside my head.
All because... I Put The Key In The Door!

RNM






I PUT THE KEY TO THE DOOR

(Plano, Texas)


I put the key in the door lock and turned it counterclockwise until I heard the lock click.
My mind screamed at me in horror, saying, "Billy, what the hell are you doing, goddamn it!"
Logic continued to berate me with, Don't you hear the growling on the other side, stupid?"
My stakes and the hammer are good weapons, the cross would protect me, the silver bullets in the gun are deadly and... I never listen to logic, anyway!

BAD SLEEP




Don't we all strive for a night of good sleep?
Too bad for you that you only get... Bad Sleep!

RLG





BAD SLEEP

(Waco, Texas)


What does real, good sleep look like from the outside looking in?
If one tosses and fits and turns and talks in his sleep... is that good sleep?
Robert Glint wishes he had an answer for these questions he asks of himself every day!
He might know the answers to these questions, but... his private nightmare continues... and what bad thing could happen if he misses another night of... Bad Sleep!

CONSIDER... THE DREAM WHISPERER


Recently, my sanity was rescued by "She who enters your dreams!"
She heard my sane id screaming for rescue from my growing insanity!
I am not enlightened enough to understand what she does!
But, thank the gods of the earth and the sky that she has her unique ability.
All else I have to say is -- Consider... The Dream Whisperer!

RLJ





CONSIDER... THE DREAM WHISPERER

(Fredericksburg, Virginia)


Remember what I am about to tell you, oh you horror fiends and you horror cohorts...
There is a mystery mortal woman of dreams and the mind who always knows your secrets!
Be they the darkest of your most evil notions or the blackest of your deepest night terrors...
They will be rooted out by... The Dream Whisperer, and may you hope she enters your dreams to help you survive yourself!

AWASH IN THE HORROR OF THAT THOUGHT


Sometimes,
If you're the thoughtful type,
Your mind might work through a statistical equation.
Here is one for you to contemplate!
You will feel fear as you are... Awash In The Horror Of That Thought!

RLJ






AWASH IN THE HORROR OF THAT THOUGHT

(Herndon, Virginia)


Let's see... you take 6 billion people and you examine each one of them for their sanity!
Let's say that you find, just for the fuck of it, 5% of them have medical sanity issues!
That would mean that there are 50 million people on this planet who may need psychiatric help!
 Now imagine how easy it is to get a gun today, anywhere... Yes... and now tell me you aren't awash in the horror of confronting that thought!

COLD SKIN (AN EXCERPT)


Ask yourself this question, unsuspecting men...
Should you ever go home with a beautiful stranger with... Cold Skin?

CEL





COLD SKIN  (AN EXCERPT)

(Cambridge, Minnesota)


I met her perusing the raw meat at the butcher station of the local supermarket a couple of nights ago.
She is beautiful, but her colorless skin, her strong accent and her high class breeding threw me off.
She approached me, said hello in her sweet girly voice and reached out and touched my right hand.
I should have realized the trouble I was in when first I noticed that her hand was covered in... Cold Skin!

CEL

THE WHISPERERS (EXCERPTS)


You are out on the streets again!
And, as the doctors all should have know,
It was only a matter of time before he was visited, again, 
By... The Whisperers!

TBK





THE WHISPERERS (EXCERPTS)

(Killeen, Texas)


The voices in your head have told you to do bad things, again!
The last time you listened to the whisperers you ended up in a psych ward!
The years in a straitjacket, with drugs forced, cannot bring back your murder victims!
Decades later finds you released into your dying mother's care... and the stress has brought back The Whisperers... and now bad things might happen, again!

INSTINCTS

...The first day Martha dropped off her mother, Laura, at Sunshine Hills Retirement Home was tough.
She could no longer properly take care of her mother's needs as the Alzheimer's worsened.
Little did Martha know, Sunshine Hills Retirement Home is actually a secret vampire hunting ground.
Alzheimers, or not, Laura's instincts kicked in when first confronted by a vampire... oh, she killed him... and the story just begins!...

BLOOD DROPS ON YOUR SMARTPHONE


If you had been paying attention to where you were going,
Perhaps,
Your neck wouldn't be ripped open and you would not have...
Blood Drops On Your Smartphone!

WLM





BLOOD DROPS ON YOUR SMARTPHONE

(Jefferson City, Missouri)


Back in the ages of the past, in the time before electronic technology sapped the heat from the human soul...
Mankind fed his spirit with words of mouth, around campfires, sharing horror knowledge with everyone.
And, people knew fear... fear of the unknown, for instant access to knowledge was what was in your mind!
All of this modern human cockiness is great for me... fearless ignorance while staring into the glow of a smartphone makes stalking you for your blood all that much easier!

There are some who thrive under the light of the silver moon.
It's just the way it is... During The Midnight Hour!

DURING THE WITCHING HOUR

Well, it's the Midnight Hour again... and I should be sleeping like a baby!
But how can I sleep knowing of the horrors out there beyond the walls of my domicile?

Oh, the Midnight Hour... a time when dark potions are boiled and sharp clawed creepers creep... and sleepers, like me, cannot!

THE HORROR INSIDE  (AN EXCERPT)

(Wilmington, North Carolina)


...Back in 2059, it was the terror virus from down in the southern hemisphere that took down North America!
It came up here in the bloodstreams of ignorantly stupid human carriers... travelers who didn't give a damn!
When the mosquitoes in their lives bit them and spread the virus to a nonresistant populace, hell was unleashed!
And now, in 2138, 3/4 of the people in North America are the infected dying, the infected dead or just dead... taken down by a mosquito and the viral horror inside it!...

RESPECT TO WHO YOU CANNOT OUTRUN



Logan's immortality has run its course.
Today is the day he can no longer outrun Father Time.
The All Father has finally come to collect his due.
2200 years of life on earth dies today.
Today Logan finally shows his... Respect To Who You Cannot Outrun!

WLA





RESPECT TO WHO YOU CANNOT OUTRUN

(Lancaster, Pennsylvania)


A very long time ago, the Gods above said these most profound words first... 
Inspiring a very bumptious mankind to appropriate the words and call them their own.
Those words are: Mortals, you cannot outrun father time, for he will chase you through distance...
Through space... through time itself to collect his due... your soul... and you will relinquish it whether you want to, or not!

Billy Martin lives on two planes of existence!
In his dream existence, he feels that he controls every single aspect of his happiness!

Often times, he wishes he could be equidistant from both planes of existence, but... horror always draws him back into the reality existence -- God Help Him!

DOWN A MIDNIGHT HIGHWAY

(Tuttle, Oklahoma)


Driving down an unfamiliar backwoods country highway in the middle of the night is reckless.
The dark things living in the humid darkness crouch and wait for unsuspecting birds like you.
You should have turned around immediately when you realized that you were lost... but you didn't.
Now, right now, you are stopped in the middle of the road... staring at what looks like a ghost child... out here in these woods... holy shit, you are scared to death!

TDR
