Drew Blood's Dark Tales — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Podcast

An ordinary walk. A body in the water. A warning spoken by something that should have stayed silent. For one lonely bookstore clerk, that encounter marks the beginning of an unexpectedly wonderful life. A better job. A home. A woman he loves. After years of going nowhere, everything finally seems to be falling into place. But good fortune offers no explanation for itself, and the woman at the center of his happiness is keeping a sorrow he cannot bear to leave alone. Helping her may mean returning to the one place he promised himself he would never visit again.

After a triumphant performance, Gil is approached by a stranger in a spotless white suit with forty thousand dollars, an irresistible proposition, and the promise of freedom from the manager who made him famous. But as Gillean may soon discover, some contracts cannot be broken, and some gift comes with conditions buried deep in the fine print.

At Forest Oaks, repairs are temporary, complaints are ignored, and the tenants have learned not to expect much from management. For Dale, the complex’s new maintenance man, the job is only something to endure until better work comes along. Then he receives a request from apartment 11-A. BeBe Evans needs her thermostat fixed—and insists the temperature must remain precisely seventy degrees so she can continue observing her universe. The other residents call her “Crazy God Lady.” BeBe claims the title is more accurate than they realize. Dale dismisses her warnings, mocks her promises, and leaves the repair unfinished. But when impossible things begin appearing around the complex, he is forced to wonder whether the woman in white is truly delusional—or whether he has offended something capable of governing life, death, and what comes afterward.

On the outskirts of Nobility, Texas, Colt makes his living buying and selling the things respectable people pretend they don’t want. Guns, drugs, stolen goods—everything has a price at Colt’s Junk, provided the local police receive their share. Then two men arrive with something Colt has never seen before: an ancient, mummified body stitched together from the remains of multiple people. Colt expects the grotesque discovery to earn him a small fortune. But after nightfall, the corpse begins to move—and its damaged limbs seem to be asking for help. When satisfying its needs brings an extraordinary change in Colt’s luck, a single illicit purchase becomes the foundation of a far more horrifying enterprise.

For ten years, no one knew Collette Whimpley was still alive. Then hikers hear screaming beneath the overgrown land behind her father’s abandoned home, and a local sheriff uncovers a young woman trapped in a world of darkness, isolation, and secrets. Taking responsibility for her recovery, he welcomes Collette into his own home, hoping that patience and kindness can help her reclaim the life stolen from her. But Collette remembers things no one can explain. She speaks of a bad man who visits beneath the moon, gifts that should never be given, and a haunting tally that always ends with the same two words: Seven down.
