A single bite is the difference between paradise and hell.

"... an electrifying and vibrantly vivid tale of Wild West horror."
- The Haunted Reading Room


1839 hasn't been a good year for Micah Jenkins, and he hopes it won't end up carved on his tombstone. He and his family are entangled with a band of desperate pioneers, starving and lost on endless barren prairies, driven onward by a madman's visions. When the group stumbles into an unlikely oasis that promises food and comfort, have the oft-repeated prophesies come true or does this newfound Garden of Eden hold more than meets the eye?

A novella of horror on the western plains from author Evans Light (Doorbells at Dusk, Screamscapes: Tales of Terror, Bad Apples: Halloween Horrror).

About Corpus Press:

We specialize in publishing horror and weird tales from both well-known modern masters of horror and rising stars in the horror genre. Amazing stories are what we seek to collect for your reading enjoyment: only the best new horror, dark fiction, thriller, suspense and just plain weird short stories and novellas to populate our horror anthologies, horror collections and other new horror books.
We're committed to providing horror kindle books and audiobooks for every taste, from literary horror to pulp and bizarro. You'll find a wide range of horror short stories, horror anthologies and horror novellas from which to choose, everything from supernatural stories to psychological horror, sometimes eerie like The Twilight Zone, sometimes humorous like Tales from the Crypt, sometimes horrific like Tales from the Darkside. Our well-received Bad Apples: Halloween Horror anthology series delivers some of the best Halloween short stories available.
We don't have paranormal books or teen paranormal (sorry), and we're not big on zombie books, vampires, gothic novels, dark fantasy, splatterpunk and unnecessarily hardcore horror, either. But as long as it's told in a fresh and thrilling way, almost anything is fair game: demonic horror, ghosts and specters, haunted houses, ghost novels, werewolves, apocalyptic horror - you name it, we probably have it. Corpus Press aims to be highly recommended horror reading for adults and older teens, striving to bring only the top horror books, audio books and some of the best horror of the year.
