Jayden Rossi, leader of the ultra-elite, Black Ops vampire team Blood Moon, is both the luckiest and unluckiest vampire in the world. He’s lucky because he has finally had the mating dream, and unlucky because team Blood Moon is being kept as slaves by the United States government. He can’t bring his fated mate into this nightmare, but he’s being driven crazy by the erotic dreams. Her elegant form…her plush lips…she is irresistible. He is determined not to give in to his desires, but now that the world has been plunged into a zombie apocalypse, he may be her only hope.

You won’t find the place on any map. It’s somewhere else, hidden away in a wondrous parallel reality of mystery, awe, and terror. This both is and isn’t the “Old West”. They share the same stark and unforgiving terrain and exist in the same timeframe, primarily the 1800s. But there the similarities cease.

Towns can disappear by daylight and return with the setting sun.

It’s that time of year again. In the shadows, otherworldly creatures lurk, under the gravestones, the dead begin to rise, and in that old house down the lane, ghosts rattle their chains. For once more, Trick or Treat Thrillers brings you our pick of the best Indie-paranormal short stories for 2020! Before you begin listening to our selection of 13 stories, however, we recommend you first check under your bed, in your closet, and outside of your window.
