The absentmindedness. The nonsensical ramblings. The blank stares. Ward Ayers, physically

disabled and confined to his Jersey Shore home, can only watch in dismay as his beloved wife

Malina slips further and further into dementia.

But when Ward catches a glimpse of a strange appendage in place of Malina''s tongue, he fears

the woman he''s loved for half a century isn''t succumbing to Alzheimer''s but transforming into

something...not quite human. As he tries to make sense of his wife''s disturbing changes, he

starts wondering if he''s the one losing his mind.

Until, finally, Ward uncovers the dark force behind Malina''s decline and must plumb the depths

of sacrifice and selfishness to reclaim his wife and preserve humanity''s future.

"Carried along on a dive to terrifying depths where nothing is quite as it seems, MALINAE has

everything we could hope for from a story: suspense, horror, sex, and biting humor."

-JoAnn Chaney, author of WHAT YOU DON''T KNOW and AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL

LIVE

"Haunting, harrowing, and beautiful, MALINAE is one of those books that sticks with you long

after the last chapter. A seaside tale of love and terror, the sunset years have never been more

frightening or visceral than in Josh Schlossberg's deft hands."

-Matthew Lyons, author of THE NIGHT WILL FIND US

"Fast paced and compelling, MALINAE is a cautionary tale about the dangers of negativity in an

already tumultuous world. At its core it''s a love story, surrounded by unspeakable horror."

-Claire L. Fishback, author of THE BLOOD OF SEVEN

"MALINAE is a thought provoking and horrific ride, one that will reverberate in your memory

long after you turn the last page."

-Gary Robbe, educator and horror writer

THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR

Edited by Josh Schlossberg

Horror is part of the human condition, but few peoples across the ages know it quite like the Jews.

From slavery to pogroms to the Holocaust to antisemitism, the "Chosen People" have not only endured hell on Earth, they''ve risen above it to share their stories with the world.

Whether it''s pirate rabbis or demon-slaying Bible queens, concentration camp vampires or beloved, fearless bubbies, THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR offers you twenty-two dark tales about the culture, history, and folklore of the Jewish people.

We all have nightmares buried in our psyche. Gary Robbe uncovers thirteen that weren''t buried deep enough... 

WWI soldiers encounter ghouls in the wastes of No Man''s Land. Siblings in rural Appalachia are haunted by their dying mother''s last request. A family discovers that tearing down an old house won''t make it go away. 

And the dreams only get darker from there.

Gary''s striking and unnerving tales-ranging from folk horror, to supernatural, to weird Western-have been published everywhere from The Horror Zine to Sanitarium Magazine to the NoSleep Podcast and beyond.

Now thirteen stories are compiled in one place in Not Buried Deep Enough, freshly dug from a shallow grave. Are you ready to get your hands dirty?
