WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"With stories that feel ripped from the pages of EC Comics or from the celluloid veins of Creepshow, That Darkened Doorstep takes you on a journey to the depths of relationships gone sour, unearthly shadows, technological betrayal, and beyond. The icy hells crafted in this anthology will chill you to the bone." —Robert P. Ottone, author of Her Infernal Name & Other Nightmares and The Rise trilogy. 

"That Darkened Doorstep is a powerful collection of chilling stories. The uneasy wonder and visceral terror in these tales will haunt me for some time. What a range of uncanny, alluring, unsettling dark fiction." —Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion, and Bram Stoker Award®nominee 

“With haunted houses, curses and spells, and a cohort of long-lost souls, That Darkened Doorstep features twenty uncanny tales of the unwary and the unexpected, editor Catherine Jordan bringing together emerging and established writers in a delightful cornucopia of creepiness.”—Lee Murray, USA Today Bestselling author and four-time Bram Stoker Award® winner.
