by Barbara Custer

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE: Dark Fantasy

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

The apocalypse of the movie screen and the printed page has become a reality. A microbe threatens humanity, making Corona seem like the common cold. Innocents die to appease young and hungry gods. A doctor feeds the souls of his patients to a demon. Featuring Marge Simon, Lee Clark Zumpe, Margaret L. Carter, Rod Marsden, Matthew Wilson, and other authors.

EXCERPT:

 

 

 Matthew Wilson’s “I am No Witch”

 

I wasn't blessed with my own kids, and given the hate this town shines on me, maybe that is best, for the humiliation is terrible. I wouldn't wish old age on anyone. My house is made of brick, not candy, and I cannot help the hideousness of my face.

 

My neighbors whisper stories of my dear, dead Harry to their children. They laugh and sing about how he went mad, tried to kill me, and burnt my face. I stopped trying to cover it with makeup long ago, but my scars only add fuel to this witch nonsense.

 

Only evil things burn.

 

I like to eat in but must order out as supposed normals do. The minimum traffic of food deliveries at my door raises the children’s certainty that my oven is filled with their cooked brothers and sisters.

 

I have received no Hansel and Gretel here. Only hate.

 

Now I hate Halloween. Despite their fear of me, I still phone the children’s parents from time to time, seeking unity and to be invited into their homes.

 

Without their rare good manners, I would starve. My talons would rust and my teeth would fall out.

 

Only at the end do the few realize what I actually am.

 

And it is certainly no witch.

 

The End
