Lydia Peever
Lydia Peever is a horror author and journalist from Ontario, Canada. She is a big fan of horror music, books and film–so anywhere there is blood, you will probably find her lurking somewhere in the corner.

RW-3: Three Tales of Terror


STORIES

Let's REWIND! From Season One comes a story from Nancy Rosenberg England! We also drop two fresh scary short tales from Josef Matulich.

Just for extra fun, our rewinds feature an opening that pays homage to classic shows from The Golden Age of Radio that inspired The Wicked Library.

About the Authors:


Josef Matulich is an author, costume/make-up artist, and retired mime. His work runs towards horror & comedy so black it is almost ultraviolet, because the only proper response to the world is to laugh or crawl under your covers for a bit of therapeutic whimpering. His Arcanum Faire novels, “Camp Arcanum” and “Power Tools in the Sacred Grove”, are published by Post Mortem Press. He has a horror/comedy screenplay trapped in pre-production Hell. When not occupied with all of the above, he helps run a costume/vintage store with his wife.

615: “Sealed With a Kiss” by Owl Goingback


STORY

Dark, terrifying imagery, and truly masterful storytelling are central to this week's Wicked Tale.

Stranded in the Georgia countryside after his car breaks down, Air Force mechanic Kent Philips gets caught up in a storm of epic proportions.

As he seeks and finds shelter from the storm, he meets a woman on the run from someone named Luke and what just might be the end of the world.


About the Author:


Having served in the Air Force, and the former owner of a restaurant and lounge, Owl Goingback became a full time writer in 1987. He has written numerous novels, children’s books, screenplays, and short stories.

His novel CROTA won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel, and was one of four finalists in the Best Novel category. His novel DARKER THAN NIGHT was also a Stoker Nominee for best novel of the year. Both books draw upon his Native American heritage to tell a story of supernatural suspense, as do his other novels EVIL WHISPERS, BREED and SHAMAN MOON.

Owl’s children’s books, EAGLE FEATHERS and THE GIFT, have received critical acclaim from parents and teachers, and are currently used in numerous reading programs. EAGLE FEATHERS is a Storytelling World Awards Honor Recipient.

In addition to his writing under his own name, Owl has also ghostwritten several books for Hollywood celebrities. He has also lectured throughout the country on the customs and folklore of the American Indians.

About the Author:

KT-Jayne
KT Jayne
asks: Do you know what to do in case of zombie apocalypse? How about when surrounded by a mad horde of Doctor Who fangirls? What if the Mothman invades your town? What if aliens land and start shooting up the place? Lucky for you that you have met KT Jayne. She knows exactly what to do if any of these things happen. She should, she’s spent her entire life obsessing about all these “what ifs” and more. Lucky for you, too, she has Asperger’s and with her out of the box thinking and whiz kid know how, she might just save your skin. Or your soul. Grab your shovel of death and prepare to face whatever form the apocalypse will take. Or just stand behind her. She’ll figure it out. No matter how the apocalypse manifests, KT Jayne does not die at the end.

KT Jayne lives in a small town of central Indiana waiting patiently for the Apocalypse to come.

Both an artist and writer, Bret acknowledges painter and cover artist Frank Frazetta as his biggest single artistic influence. His personal style is more akin to Maxfield Parrish

An avid reader of pulp fiction, his two favorite books are Bram Stoker’s Dracula and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

About the Author:

Miracle Austin
Miracle Austin is a YA/NA Cross-Genre author; adults also enjoy her works. She’s been writing ever since first hearing Drive by the Cars in junior high. Horror/suspense are her favorite genres, but not limited to. She enjoys writing diverse flashes and short stories.

She’s currently working on her first novella, Doll, a story about outcast teens versus the popular mean girl in an untraditional way. She’s completed her first extremely, eclectic—requires mind to be open to the impossible—short story collection, Boundless.

You could say that Boundless is a gumbo of themes, some light-hearted, while others are much darker… She hopes to release both before the end of the year. She is also working stand-alone novel, Lonestar UnOrdinary Girl, a supernatural tale with comedic elements.

She resides in Texas with her family. She loves to chat it up, so feel free to contact her.

“Lingering fiction that ignites diverse mind journeys and beyond…”

STORY and ART

As we take a little breather and get ready for the Live Halloween Episode Event and catch up on some other duties around The Library, we dive back into a great encore episode from Season Five (504) with Chapter Three of Jon Tower's DJinn Jihad as read by Nelson W.

An action packed chapter converted from Jon Towers Graphic Novel becomes a great short story for us to enjoy. Funny, dark, and scary as hell - shit's about to get real in the 'Burgh when a Djinn is used as a weapon.

Be sure to grab Jon’s graphic novel, the D’Jinn Jihad on Amazon.
