“The Hawthorne Project” a dark fiction anthology

Posted on October 24, 2021 by tara caribou

Just in time for Halloween, Raw Earth Ink is proud to present The Hawthorne Project. A dark fiction anthology.

Nine houses. Eleven authors. One week.

The neighborhood of west Hawthorne Drive in quiet Greenfield Wisconsin is filled with dark stories and darker rumors. There’s the haunting by a faceless creature. They’ve all seen it. They’ve all experienced its presence. On the one hand, it seems to desire the life of mortals, on the other, it befriends a small boy. It both mocks and assists. Runs away and stands face-to-faceless face.

And not to mention the mysterious death of the street’s namesake, Jim Hawthorne. His strange and reclusive widow peers from behind her drawn curtains, rarely leaving her home, but to walk her little dog or tend her manicured gardens.. yet she’s not one for giving up any of the cul-de-sac’s secrets.

But in the days leading up to Halloween, events take a more sinister turn, including strange visitations, an eerie violet haze in the sky, attempted murder, breaking-and-entering, and multiple police check-ins until not one of the residents can deny: something or someone is here to stay.

Inside you’ll find work from:

River Dixon
Chisto Healy
Tristan Drue Rogers & Sarah Anne Rogers
Lou Rasmus
Mark Ryan
Mark Towse
Joshua Marsella
Darren Diarmuid
Robert Birkhofer
Jeremiah Fox

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

As an eBook at: Kindle.
