We are not sure how many body pieces Victor
Frankenstein used to create his "monster," but
it is likely he used a lot less than Dark Moon
Books did in stitching this creation together.
It was pointed out during the proofreading and
editing process that the table of contents
included more words (nearly 800 at last count)
than any of the individual stories. It was an
interesting observation, but it proves a point.
A well-written, complete story can be told with
very few words. So, here it is in all of its
nightmarish, ghoulish glory, Frightmares: A
Fistful of Flash Fiction. It is packed with 129
tales that will rattle your bones, cause you to
ponder your future, make you lose some sleep
and, yes, even bring a smile to blood-smeared
lips. The creation is sewn up tight and ready
for a jolt of lightning to bring it to life.
And, yes, that time has come, my friends. "It
Lives!"
