Fellow self-pubbed author Anthony Renfro has a shiny new cover for his short story A Haunted House Tale. Check out the cover below — and also check out the story itself, because it’s free to download Friday and Saturday (May 29/30).
This short story is about five students on Halloween night who discover the secrets and terrors of the town’s most infamous haunted house. Will they live to see the morning?
Excerpt:
The wall behind him turned into a giant mouth with sharp crooked wooden gnashing teeth covered in dried stained blood. Two plaster arms blew out of the wall with hands on the ends of these arms. These wooden hands with rusty nails for fingernails grabbed him as he tried to run away. The rusty nails implanted themselves into his body squirting blood out of him like someone squeezing a tomato too tight. He was stuck, couldn’t move, as he struggled to get free. The plaster arms picked him up and tossed him into the mouth. He was chewed up, and quickly consumed, lost somewhere inside the fabric of the wall.

That is an awesome cover.
Yeah, it jumped off at me right a way.
Right??? Super spooky.
Thanks Michelle for doing this. Looks awesome. Hope your book got lots of freebies. Need anything from me, don’t be afraid to ask.
No problem 🙂 Hmmm … I think I shall ask for your firstborn child. Actually, scratch that — what would I even do with a baby? Apart from rule the world, obviously.
Obviously. 🙂
I guess when a blurb asks, “Will they live to see the morning?” we already know the answer… Great cover!
Combination of cover and excerpt are making me want to run for the hills, so I guess that’s good?!
Well, it’s horror, so if you’re not horrified, it’s not doing its job!
