Good morning, my Followers of Fear. As promised, I’m making one of my short stories available for free. And the first story I publish is “Car Chasers,” which came out in 2019 in The Binge-Watching Cure II from Claren Books.
If you’re unfamiliar with this story, it focuses on street races that take place in the woods around a small town. During these races, ghosts chase the cars around. And you do not want to be around if these spooks manage to get close to your car. Think of it like the Fast and Furious movies deciding to go in the direction of a ghost story.*
Anyway, now it’s available for you to read, and with a kickass cover to boot. Later on, I’ll make it available on my Book Links and Excerpts page, in case anyone wants to read it there. And if you do end up reading it, I hope you’ll let me know what you think. I had a fun time writing this story and I still think of it very fondly (to the point that I direct movie adaptations in my head).
And if you like what you read, consider checking out my other stories. I have plenty available, from ones about plant/human hybrids, to mobster-hunting serial killers, to ancient gods, and more. Just click on the button below the story to head to my Book Links and Excerpts Page, and see if anything strikes your fancy.
That’s all for now, my Followers of Fear. Until next time, good night, pleasant nightmares, and watch out for ghosts that will chase after your vehicle.
Oh, and be sure to keep an eye on this website for the announcement of when “Cressida” comes out. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
*Fun fact, I first started watching those films as research for this story. And let’s face it, those films couldn’t get any more ridiculous if they went the route of horror or the supernatural, could they? I mean, that just seems like a natural direction to go at some point. I know the next one’s supposed to be the last, but you’ll forgive me if I have my suspicions.

I enjoyed this story even more the second time through! (I read it the first time in the anthology.) That Donnie character is the kind readers love to hate.
I may have based him on someone just as narcissistic as he is. Thanks for the support, Priscilla.
