In a restless suburb of Pittsburgh PA, there dwells an odd writing and critique group called Write or Die. Celebrating a mysterious annual rite, the authors disclose secret and sometimes tragic circumstances; evident only to those who have experienced the incidents . . . until now.
The stories in this collection will take you for perilous jaunts on All Hallows Eve, send you sprinting down a beach at midnight, drown your soul in inky waters, soak you in the blood of wizards and dump you down the rabbit hole of insanity.
Whether these are parables that predict or tales to instruct, prepare yourself to be,
Knee Deep In Little Devils!
Welcome to the first Write or Die anthology. The short stories contained in Knee Deep in Little Devils were written for, and read during our first three annual Halloween reading events. They range from the preposterously frightful to the frightfully preposterous.
"Penned by a masterful mix of writers and poets, these twisted tales are fiendish fun any time of the year."
