Darkness Prevails is a spooky storyteller extraordinaire hailing from the Ozarks of Arkansas and the author of Freaky Folklore, Appalachian Folklore Unveiled, Phantom Phenomena, and Creepy Campfire Stories. When he’s not busy writing spine-chilling books or spinning yarns about things that go bump in the night on Eeriecast: The Horror Podcast Network or on his wildly successful YouTube channel, Darkness Prevails, he can often be found wandering through the misty woods, searching for evidence of Bigfoot (or at least an excuse to use his night-vision goggles).Despite his fascination with the unknown, Darkness Prevails is also a devoted family man. He is the proud father of two terrors-in-training. His wife, who may or may not be a vampire, supports his creepy pursuits and even helps him research his latest hair-raising tales.With a love for all things spooky and a knack for making even the bravest of souls quiver in their boots, Darkness Prevails is a force to be reckoned with in the horror genre. So, turn off the lights, grab a flashlight, and get ready for a frightfully good time.

"A thrilling, chilling, and fun read from cover to cover. An impressively entertaining anthology of short stories to be read with the lights on."
