623: “Sweet & Sticky Sarah” by Sebastian Bendix

STORY

Money and privilege often allow one to operate with impunity, but for one well off Boston elite, things are about to get interesting.

Reginald Early, Jr. is the heir apparent to taking over his father's company - a company that was also responsible for the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. But Reginald's arrogance and cruelty might interfere with those plans if he's not careful.


About the Author:

Sebastian Bendix is a Los Angeles based writer and musician, as well as host of a popular midnight horror film series, Friday Night Frights at the Cinefamily. He attended school at Emerson College for writing and has had fiction and non-fiction pieces published in both in print (Mean Magazine, Sanitarium Magazine and Xchyler Publishing) and online (CHUD.com, Encounters Magazine and Grinning Skull Press).

He has written several screenplays in the genres of fantasy, horror and sci fi, one of which, The Black Cradle, is in development as an independent feature. The Patchwork Girl is his first full-length novel. His second novel, The Stronghold, is nearing completion and will be out to publishers in 2016.

“Where Stories Live”

622: “Dear Cousin Gavin” by Aaron Vlek

STORY

Most families have secrets. But secrets always yearn to be known.

Join us as we explore the dark secret of one family. A secret with roots that run deep-- a secret that refuses to stay buried.


About the Author:

Aaron Vlek is a storyteller who works with the trickster mythos in its role as bringer of delight and proponent of disquieting humors. Some of her (yes, her) stories center around the goings on of the jinn, and of a universal imagining of the Native American character, Coyote. Some works are historical in setting while others occupy a contemporary and urban landscape. She also indulges frequently in the reimagining of classic themes of horror and the occult. Aaron is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College.

Domine Canè, a short piece of speculative horror with a historic theme, appeared in the April 2015 issue of Bards and Sages Quarterly, Vol. VII, Issue II. The Black Meal, a work of speculative horror appeared in the October 2015 issue of Outposts of Beyond. At the Kids’ Table appeared in the 2015 Christmas Edition of Chicken Soup for the Soup. Eight additional stories have been accepted for publication throughout 2016.
