“The Shadows of Blackout Island” a dark fiction anthology

Raw Earth Ink is proud to announce the release of The Shadows of Blackout Island, a collection of dark fiction short stories.

Inside you’ll find seven horrifying tales which take place on Blackout Island as told by:

  • L.E. Aleman
  • Darren Diarmuid
  • Lauren Rylant
  • A.P. Christopher
  • -M. Taggart
  • M. Ennenbach
  • Joann L. Berg

Rumors and speculation surround the possible inhabitants of Blackout Island, located just a few miles off the coast. Conspiracy theories abound while social media leaks surface about government experiments gone wrong. Certainly something or someone must live there, for haven’t we all seen the shaky home videos of the occasional wisp of smoke or recordings of eerie sounds carrying far across the water on a calm summer night? Something wicked has been let loose within its depths… And it is time for the truth to be revealed.

Where Junior Officer Jaime discovers the sad reality behind the island’s Wallymoos; where a group of teenagers brave the dark to witness the mysterious actions of the Stump Maker; where a young woman named Eskyl is transformed into mind-controlling siren; and where William pays the ultimate mind-bending price after filling the role of a don’t-ask-don’t-tell Mercury.


In paperback at: lulu, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

As eBook at: lulu, Nook, Kobo, and Kindle.

  1. It was a pleasure to work with you, Tara. And a much needed moment for me. Hope you’re having fun today. We’re being hammered by another snow storm here in Maine. Snow Day for the little guy!
