Excerpt

Night of the Living Stomach

The body was dead but the stomach was not. It lurched its way out of the
incision and landed with a plop on the autopsy room floor. It inched along
tasting cleaning fluid until it found the spotless break room. It climbed
onto the pristine counter and enveloped the shiny coffee maker.

The stomach recoiled in disgust at the flavor of more cleaning products
combined with bitter coffee grounds. It missed its host. Isaac Head never
failed to feed it on command. In fact, he’d been about to bite into a
juicy burger when he plowed into an oncoming semi.

 

About the Author

C. L. Hart logo

C. L. Hart is the owner and sole employee of Ornery Owl Ventures, is an
editor who writes or a writer who edits. She is described as The Mad Scribe
of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and The Author
That Should Not Be.

When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopian fiction, Lovecraftian
fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweet romance thrown in to
upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creating baked goods she hopes
will be considered palatable.

Ms. Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult
son and three cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early
Twenty-First Century Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be
found arguing with herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch
horrors.

Ms. Hart is a member of ACES Editing Society, The Denver Horror Collective,
First Coast Romance Writers, The H. P. Lovecraft Society, Passionate Ink
(writing as Lil DeVille), and Rocky Mountain Romance Writers.

Excerpt

 

The Drain

Professor Vladimir Reed-Field wished he had never taken the job at
Miskatonic University. He’d never had problems like this when he was
teaching at the University of Hawaii. A volcanic eruption would be  a
welcome change over the sound coming from that damn kitchen sink.

The plumber from Blizzard Pipeworks could find nothing wrong with the
drain. She’d scoped it, snaked it, and performed a full flush. She
said that sometimes the plumbing in Arkham’s old houses just made odd
noises.

The problem wasn’t the pipes themselves. It was the thing inside the
pipes that kept whispering the professor’s name.
