3 A.M. CLASSICS



 

ROOM 6
"That reporter was almost right. However, it wasn't a ghost that killed my brother and father. It was the diabolical hotel itself. How do I know? I catch ghosts for a living. I'm a ghost hunter. My name is Patrick Kelly and I intend to destroy the Hotel Lyceum." (5 pages). By Travis Black.

THE DEAD TOO HAVE HOPES

Death is no reason to stop living...especially when you’re Alex Resartus: once-noted literary figure, struggling schizophrenic, and vampire. Life is to be lived, as the uplift consultants and positive thinking gurus remind us, and Alex agrees. True, there are complications: as a vampire with schizophrenia, Alex has the highly peculiar quirk of acquiring his victims’ traits–for good or bad. But that doesn’t stop Alex, who in this story affirms that “The Dead Too Have Hopes”. By Steve Vivian. Adapted from the novel, A Self-Made Monster, which is published by Boson Books.

THE SUCKER
The Sucker is a monumental addition to 3 A.M PUBLISHING. Reminiscent of the movies, Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, and Twilight Zone - The Movie, filmed in the early 1980`s, The Sucker, and TWISTED TALES, brings back that same on-edge horror with a mainstream twist! (3 pages). By Klaus D. Yurk

THE CREEPY CRAWLY HAIRY SCARY THINGS IN THE BASEMENT
A short horror story told through the eyes of a child with extraordinary mental powers. But it is really about the horror of being too small, or too weak to control the evil around us. (2 pages). By Klaus D. Yurk.

DIRTY WATER
`It just looked so easy on the TV. I mean, drive up, chitchat for a few seconds, make an offer, take her to a motel, conduct business, and leave. Simple. I just didn`t expect to panic like I did...' By Tom Waltz.

THE DEVIL IN THE DEEP
Another chilling short story by Klaus Yurk, The Devil in the Deep is his homage to one of the great classic horror writers, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. H.P. had a wonderful sense of ancient dread, lurking and waiting to get the reader. In further tribute to H.P., the poem set as the opening lines to `The Nightmare Lake` is at the end of the story. (5 pages).

SO LOUD IT HURT
So Loud It Hurt shows the worst and most horrific kind of mistake a young mother with a troubled and tortured past can make based on her unfounded fears regarding Y2K. Dark urban horror. By Tom Waltz.

NIGHT MARES
A surreal story that takes place on the wrong side of town. (5 pages). By Kismet.

MADNESS STIRS IN THE DEEP DARK

Classic, this is one that will make you think twice before reading one of our stories late at night. Alfred Hitchcock - Ray Bradbury - And Klaus D. Yurk. A storyteller who definitely deserves to have his name mentioned in the same sentence. Enjoy the show. . .(9 pages)

GRANDMA'S LEFT EAR

"That poor pooch. I really didn’t mean to hurt him. But that boy was mean. It wasn’t nearly as muddy in the cistern with the boy. Plus, he was small and much easier to work with. Like a supple little oven roaster (I crack me up sometimes…an oven roaster!!!) Where did I leave his ear?." (3 pages). By Cheryll D.

*  THE HUNTING PARTY
"The hunting party would arrive tomorrow, which meant everything must be just right; everything ready for them. The chili would, should be, ready by the time they get here. And the drinks he had promised them in the advertisement too, a batch of his best home brew." (8 pages). By Arturo Hernandez.
