Nostalgic nightmares await in this 1980s-themed collection of horror. Come join members of the New England Horror Writers and Boston Horror Society down memory lane, where the grass isn’t greener but deadly, library books attack, and arcade games bring a different kind of win. Road trips take wrong turns, children hear voices that adults cannot, and when some are left to their own devices, with no parents around, the worst horrors ensue. *The proceeds from this anthology will be donated to a charity*

R.C. Mulhare has the distinction of reading a translation of the famous cursed play "The King in Yellow" without going mad, once successfully defended her day-job workplace from zombies, through some judicious use of clearance-rack garden tools, survived a fight with Yog-Sothoth cultists in a hallway of a hotel in Providence; she's also picked up some extra work editing posts for the product blog of Umbrella Corporation... In actuality, R.C. Mulhare was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in one of the surrounding towns, in a hundred year old house up the street from an old cemetery. Her interest in the dark and mysterious started when she was quite young, when her mother read the faery tales of the Brothers Grimm and quoted the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to her, while her Irish storyteller father infused her with a fondness for strange characters and quirky situations. When she isn't writing, she moonlights in grocery retail. She's also fond of hiking in the woods of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and browsing the antiques shops one finds all over New England. A two-time Amazon best-selling author, contributor to the Hugo Award Winning Archive of Our Own, and member of the New England Horror Writers, her work previously appeared with Atlantean Publishing, Macabre Maine, FunDead Publications, Deadman's Tome, NEHW Press, and Weirdbook Magazine, with more stories in various stages of publication. She shares her home with her family, a parakeet with a dictionary in his teeny head, about fifteen hundred books and an unknown number of eldritch things that rattle in the walls when she's writing late in the night....
