The mind of an artist can be a landscape of imagination and wonder, but when it becomes unbridled, its genius can give into madness. If you were born with a talent for the arts, simply enjoy the world of the artists, or revel in suspenseful and psychological tales, you will find it hard to put this novel down.In Out of Frame Anthologies, creativity is the thin red string that connects an actor, a novelist, a gallery painter, a surrealist, a creative writer and a sculptor. Six separate tales weaved by six uniquely-styled writers, each examining the darkness of imagination.Red Hollows by Jack Lothian - In 80's Hollywood fast and free culture, if an actor wants to retain his popularity, getting in touch with his killer instinct is a must.Deadline by S. J. Sims - A writer can't find her killer as writer's block, a psychological adversary that no writer wants to face threatens her looming Deadline.Ouroboros by Rhiannon Robertson - At the brink of artistic corrosion, an artist ingests a Tab of magic that revitalizes his art but may be the gateway to death.Don't Call Me Crazy by Sarah Witt - A woman on the path to insanity experiences the ecstasy of art as she observes her alters. Their surreal macabre paintings are stimulating, but the mutilated corpses that they use to paint with electrifies her soul.There Will Be Cookies by Oneiric Roper - A writer's group is a place of sharing ideas, receiving feedback, and when this writer sits in the group, Death is there.Common Clay by John M. Risner - An art student sees clay as a way to escape the perversion of her reality, but there are men in her life that want to destroy her artistic expression.Following in the tradition of stories featuring tortured artists, like the books, John Fowles' The Collector, and Stephen King's TheShining, and also the films, Michael Powell's Peeping Tom and DavidLynch's Mulholland Drive, Out of Frame Anthologies offer a collection of shocking tales. Are you ready to glean insight into the yin and yang nature of beauty and horror that exists in every artist's conflicted soul? There is no better time than now to submit to Out of FrameAnthologies and immerse yourself in its creative mania.

Emerging as the dark side of Romanticism, horror is one of literature’s oldest genres. Its history is so diverse it’s sometimes difficult to define. Are moody stories about ghosts and vampires related to gory tales of beasts and zombies? And what about the more realistic terrors of murderous rogues and diabolical doctors? The emotion of fear unifies the 14 stories in First Came Fear: New Tales of Horror. But fear is legion in its varieties. The authors skillfully navigate terror of all types. M.P. Diederich’s “Dressage for Beginners” and Christopher Calix’s “The Wedding Gift” are fine examples of the ghoulish humor tradition while J.P. Whitmer’s “Loved to Death” will frighten you in a stunningly visceral way. Oliver Ledesma’s “Atabey” and Samantha Pilecki’s “Roser and the Guide to the Inexplicable” impart fear through non-traditional storytelling and Sarah K. Stephens’ “The Factory” shows how effectively, and chillingly, horror can tackle social issues. All the stories are accompanied by Luke Spooner’s dramatic art, which combines Gothic macabre with echoes of classic horror illustration. The entire collection will have you gripping the edge of your seat or biting your fingernails, yet leave you longing for more!

16 POST-APOCALYPTIC HORROR STORIES One day the world as we know it will end. Will it become a place of stark divisions where the lower class's best hope is a quick death, or a world infested with the undead? Maybe the end will come quietly at our own hands, or as a crack in the Earth's very surface, or at the hand of an alien race hell-bent on our destruction? Will a hero be there to save us or will they be the end of us? Do you really want to know? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EXCERPTS: "There were bodies but they weren't bodies anymore. It's like he had rearranged their atoms, blended and melted them together. It was around seven or eight feet tall. Flesh, melted and fused, arms and legs and screaming mouths and wide open eyes, all as one. Skin stretched and distorted, veins and intestines interwoven across the surface like twine over a ball. It was the enemy. It was a horror of meat and tissue. And then one of the eyes blinked and all I remember was rushing for the exit, falling to my knees outside, retching into the dirt, gasping for air." -Men of Tomorrow, Jack Lothian "But you don't really know what I am talking about, do you? Well, if you had asked Beth, she probably would have regaled you with all the details, beginning to end. 'Cause she followed it, you know? She didn't work, choosing to stay home with Biya till she started first grade. So Beth followed it night and day while it was happening until-- Well. She followed it. I wish I had followed it. I keep going over it in my head now, wondering if I had taken it more seriously at the beginning, if I had seen how quickly it was becoming scary, how I might have decided to get my family out of the city. I heard some people did that. I heard a lot of people say they were going as far as Canada." -To Market, To Market, J.C. Raye "His hand wrapped around my ankle, and he yanked me backward. I dug my fingernails into the tile floor. The strain as my nails began to separate from the cuticles was the most bearable pain that I would feel for a long time." -The Monsters of Bear Mountain, S.E.

There's something sinister in the mountain, letting monsters loose upon the world. Civilization is collapsing; the lands are submerged in shadow. Soon, the darkness will consume the countryside, leaving but one path through the void - a path that cuts across the Dark Frontier.This western wasteland sprawls across the ruins of what were once the great cities of humankind. Now, beneath the looming devastation, standing on the precipice of extinction, man finds himself driven by temptation and survival to steal and to kill. The innocent huddle in the shades and crevices of civilization's cemetery, praying to the deafened gods of faded faiths to help them make it through the apocalypse. Then the dark guardians of the new world rise from the deep, stomping over the land, and feeding on the twisted souls of those who survived the first cataclysm. In its last stand for survival, humanity will tear itself into fragments and then scatter in the winds of war, famine, and fire. Regimes meant to protect the populace, lone heroes, and those determined to make it through the end times will rise and fall, live and die, and cross the broken prairies and scorched lands only to arrive in cities reduced to rubble, crawling with killers and creatures that devour the ghosts of man. They will have no choice but to return to the shattered wilderness of the Dark Frontier.It is out there, beyond the edges of dead worlds, past the graveyards where the grand plans of man now wither and rot, where all shall find their end, where humanity's swan song will be swallowed by the black winds of chaos spreading from the hills and mountains. Trapped in the shadows that surround the world, as the wall of the black void closes in, man's revelation comes down to one question: is the evil out there where the world is dying, or was the Dark Frontier inside us all along?The Pale Horse has come, and it carries the Black Angel. Get ready to ride.
