Fireside Stories

The Halloween Horror Lives On…

For the month of October 2017, J. Ellington Ashton Press, on their Wicked Little Things blog-talk radio, broadcasted a series of Halloween stories. These “Fireside Stories” (as they were called) were a big hit with the listeners, and the decision was quickly made to publish these tales of terror into a kindle/paperback/audiobook anthology.

Written by some of JEA’s most terrifying authors—Catt Dahman, Jim Goforth, Mark Woods, Michael Noe, Essel Pratt, Amanda M. Lyons, Michael Fisher, Toneye Eyenot, Kitty Kane, and Roma Gray—these stories will send a shiver up your spine and remind you what Halloween is all about.

The Thicket

A thicket.

What could be more normal and harmless than that?

As you're about to find out, it isn't the outer appearance that decides your fortune. No. It's the darkness and secrets hidden among the trees and bushes, dark nightmares contained within their leafy branches, that are coming for you. All you have to do is be brave enough. Daring enough. To slip inside.

Black Magic Massacre

Curses, Hexes, Demons foul and fair
The words you speak have power…beware
Draw down the Moon or raise the dead
Control those thoughts which fill your head

Fire burn – the candle’s flame
Recite ancient words and forgotten names
With circle cast and censer smoking
Be sure you know what you’re invoking

Chicken’s blood and entrails
A lock of flaxen hair
The heady scent of incense
Casts sigils in the air

Behold, this book of darkened rites
And seek to gain the second sight
Turn these pages if you so dare
Beware, Black Magic Massacre

Orleans Occult: Bourbon Street Lucifer

Mardis Gras is a time of celebration, an occasion to lose one's inhibitions, and a time for the devious minds to hide among the crowds.

As the party rages on, a pair of police officers notice something isn't right as the happy-go-lucky visitors begin to violently attack each other. As the night goes on, violence turns to murder and the officers search out clues to find out what, or who, is behind the violence.

The hot and humid night seems to drag on as the officers utilize good old detective work while they walk the streets, searching out the man known as the Bourbon Street Lucifer, the man behind the night's disturbances.

What will happen when they find themselves deep in the midst of the Orleans Occult? How will it end when they finally meet the Bourbon Street Lucifer?

Repercussions Run Rampant: Tales of Revenge, Regret. And Retribution (Project 26 Book 18)

Repercussions of one’s actions are often not realized for many moons. Usually, such retorts result in minor inconveniences that merely mar the soul and bruise one’s pride. However, when repercussions run afoul, evil in its purest form reveals her damning desire to push one over the edge.

Psycho Path

Life is a journey. An adventure – A path trod with uncertainty. For most of us, the difficulties encountered along life’s path help to forge us into stronger, wiser, and more well-balanced human beings. We learn from our missteps and build upon our lessons learned. For some, however, life’s adversities take their toll; often early on and with dire consequences for the future. The spiral into madness lends no hope of return. What is real and what is imaginary soon becomes a blurred caricature of existence, leading us nimbly along the path to insanity.

Why do we do the things we do? How does one find solace in the suffering of another? Is there even a way to reset the moral compass once that needle is spun out of control? It’s a cruel world we live in, one filled with darkness and confusion. Terror, and the worst kind of monster – human.

Insectile Illusion

Nothing makes the skin crawl more than skin crawling with insects. Making their way into every orifice, burrowing through flesh to lay their eggs by the million; you, their unwilling host. Swarms invading your home, infesting the streets, devouring crops, bringing disease, famine, and death. If the insects decide to take over, there is next to nothing you can do in defence. Now, keep this in the forefront of your mind as you delve into this entomological excursion. The stories within are guaranteed to have you swatting and scratching at illusive insects as you read the tales these authors have poured into this bug collection from hell. Your own bed, especially, will no longer be a sanctuary as the antagonists of these stories follow you into your nightmares.

But hey, it all just an illusion, right? Right?

Zombies: Zero Hour

Notions of the undead have fascinated and terrified humanity for centuries, and none more so than those tales revolving around zombies. From the very root of the zombie myth back in the Haitian slave days, to a saturation through popular culture, zombies have crawled their way up out of their graves, refusing to stay interred. Now, as their hordes increase and their hungers grow, the undead plagues cannot be stopped. It isn't just a case of no room left on Earth. The apocalypse is here, and it's time for humanity to abdicate their positions as rulers of the planet to those monstrous reanimated ghouls from the tomb. Humans have had their day.

Time's up. The world belongs to the zombies now. It's zero hour.

Xperimental Genocide

I'm excited to announce the release of my 8th book!

Racism. Hate. Delusion.

Each is an integral ingredient in the recipe of genocide. Each was present during World War II.

Imagine if Adolf Hitler were still alive today, hiding out in the one place no one would find him, dead center in the United States. Imagine he, and a small group of dedicated Nazis, discovered a way to resurrect one of the most iconic Jewish symbols of World War II, recreated through a sample of found DNA. Imagine if that person was to be used as a weapon to once begin an onslaught against the Jews.

Xperimental Genocide delves into the ‘what ifs’ as Dr. Ackerman is tasked with summoning the hatred within a young girl that was born from the ashes of Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish people. Faced with the decision to follow orders or his own ethics, Dr. Ackerman finds himself deep in trenches of Hitler’s Xperimental Genocide.

Slaughter on the Seas

Filled with monstrous entities from the deep, both real and fabled, and sailed by marauding pirate ships with bloodthirsty souls looking to plunder and destroy. The great briny blue of the ocean is one of the most terrifying places imaginable. With almost three quarters of the Earth covered by sea,this vast expanse is home to myriad horrors.

From hundreds of fathoms down, or lurking just beneath the surface, to brazenly navigating the nautical domain, these deadly threats are just waiting for unsuspecting souls to take to the waters.

So come on, take the plunge. Dive on in. The water is fine. What exists within, it is another story.

Quarantine

Quarantine...

Dance with the Demon

Demons – we all have them. Like a parasitic shadow, attaching itself and penetrating its foul claws deep into your soul, your own personal demon feeds on your fears. Fear – the basest of all human emotions; the one from which all our others gain impetus and purpose – even of love.

Throughout history, the Demon has been projected outwards, given form, given a cornucopia of names and even hierarchies. Truth be told, they are a deeply ingrained expression of our own psyches. Manifesting in a myriad of ways: addictions – physical, mental and spiritual; hatred and prejudice, ignorance and subservience – the Demon lives within us all, and choreographs the dance of life towards death.

As you immerse yourself in the demonic tales within these pages, the question may arise…

How much of yourself have you given away, as you Dance with the Demon

Backwoods Bonfire, by Essel Pratt

Horrific tales of fright told around a bonfire in during remote backwoods retreats are common among close friends. As each person tests the others’ ability to remain calm and resist the urge to look over a shoulder as the sounds of nature bellow out in the backdrop, only one may claim victory as the most frightening of the group.

Backwoods Bonfire inserts the reader into a group of friends that unintentionally create a case study on what horror means to them, attempting to coerce the others to believe that horror is specific, not fluid. However, one of the friends chooses to prove that horror is as real as the fire they all gather around.

Memento Mori: A Digital Horror Fiction Anthology of Short Stories

If you’re looking for an array of Horror stories to sink your teeth into, look no further than Memento Mori…pay the Ferryman, and prepare to take the ride of your life.
The title, Memento Mori, is Latin and literally means: “Remember you too must die.” An ominous-sounding phrase, the saying derived from Puritan settlers who would often display tokens of death as a reminder to the living of the fragility of life…not to mention the eternal punishment awaiting those who wallowed in wickedness.

Death has always been a fascination to the living, meaning different things to different groups of people. Edgar Allan Poe nailed it when he said: “The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”


There is a wealth of truly incredible talent within these pages, each storyteller attempting to explore that very question. Her is a healthy book full of decidedly unhealthy stories. With Death being the key element in each one of those stories, you might be expecting a morbid ride, but rest assured, there are quite a few pieces of comedic gold lined inside this skeleton’s spine, along with the many that will send a chill down your own.
