About this ebook
From the Authors of Devil's Night and the publishers of The Little Book of Harm, comes Poisoned Candy, a collection of 100 Halloween short stories.
Discover the disgusting, depraved, and downright diabolical things people get up to on Halloween.
Within Poisoned Candy, you will find a world where the only thing scarier than the monster under your bed, is the person tucking you in. Where pumpkins bite back, and the stench of death is cut with bubblegum and candy corn.
Come door to door and enjoy a deadly, delectable offering of short fiction with a vile sense of humour.
"I read this book in one evening. I could not put it down. The stories are wonderfully creative, darkly humorous, shocking, horrifying, and wholly entertaining. This collection is full of surprises. It is completely shelf worthy. Creative. Shocking. Entertaining. Highly recommended."
★★★★★
Lisa Lee Tone - Reviewer at Bibliophilia Templum: Reviews and Resources for the daring reader
Glimpses at things gone wrong, flashes of darkness and love and loss. I personally loved how some of the stories flowed into others, and how each terrified in its own unique way."
★★★★★
Guy S. Medley - Marketing Agent, Crystal Lake Publishing
"This is the work of two authors firing on all on all cylinders. I really hope these two do more work together because the results are really terrifyingly enjoyable."
★★★★★
Nelson W. Pyles - author, Creator and executive producer of The Wicked Library
And for reasons that should be BLATANTLY OBVIOUS, this book is very much NOT FOR CHILDREN.

Trigger Warning
Pilgrim here. Firstly, we wanted to say a big ‘ol thank you for picking up this book.
Well, that, and give you a heads-up or two.
Pippa and I (being a skeezy, scummy, vulgar pair) have spared no expense
in the taste department for Poisoned Candy.
Be warned, folks: the dog dies, the children seldom (if ever) outrun the monster, and mommy and daddy aren’t here to protect you from the thing in the closet - in fact, mommy and daddy make the monsters look like toothless puppies.
All in drabble
form --that means 100 words, no more, no less.
This book touches on sensitive issues such as degenerative diseases, murder, bullying, necrophilia, coprophagia, copious quantities of vomit, bodily fluids,
—which, let’s be honest here, shall we, are all pretty much the same thing.
The publishers advise readers to proceed with caution; you have been warned.
Hello, publishers here again, consider this a second warning. There’s some tasteless shit in this book.
If you read on and get upset,
that is very much your fault.
