Nick Lay's Darker Stories - Eye See You, Dark Fur, and Fiend.

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 01:00:00 GMT

This evening on Darker Stories, 

we decided to do something a little different...

We had three flash horrors we wanted to present but they were individually too small for their own release, 

so we decided to stitch them together! Now you might be asking yourself... What does that mean for our talented painter Melissa Panth? 

Watch till the end to see how it all visually comes together for a truly twisted experience.   

I. Let us start things off with the first story, written by a talented author by the name of Kathleen McCluskey. She introduced her dark tale, Eye See You, and we just had to make it a part of the family...   

Find her books here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kathleen+mccluskey&sprefix=kathleen+mccluskey&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_18  

II. Our second story is written by Ben Hare. He's a great actor and author that wanted to share a valuable lesson on pet care with, Dark Fur.   

Find him here: https://twitter.com/bensfate?s=21  

III. Let's finish with a bang, or will it be a poke? In tonight's tale, Fiend, we find a storefront manager that finds himself trapped within the clutches of a maniac with a taste for needles.
