This started as a game. Two brothers, multiple states away from each other, who spent most of their mornings chatting on the drive into work or texting funny memes throughout the work day. One day in summer of 2022, one brother texts the other:

"Ok. I have a new game. I send you the start of a story and you send the end. It cannot be longer than a text. Here is your first one...."

This text was the snowball at the top of a hill. You are about to read the avalanche it has become. This book is a debut work of twenty twisted short stories brought to you by the creative minds of Silver Back and Black Belt. A game of dueling pens has crafted unexpected levels of gore, terror, and the fantastic at each turn. Creatures of lore, evil demons, alternate dimensions, perilous situations, and the occasional hero infest this set of compiled stories. These new authors hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as they enjoyed putting it together.

About the Authors

Silver Back happily lives with his amazing wife, four awesome children, and two happy pugs in Houston, Texas. He enjoys reading horror, writing horror, listening to hard rock, catching the occasional unlucky fish, and taking part in a good CrossFit workout. Stuck in the grind with a day job to pay the bills, he spends evenings assembling these stories and sending new material to his brother. He is very excited to put more of these glimpses of terror in your hands.

Black Belt has a very loving family that includes four children, two high energy dogs, and a hot wife in western Pennsyltucky. He actually has a no-shit black belt in Tae Kwon Do, throws and shoots sharp things at targets (knives, axes, arrows, and other fun stuff), lifts heavy weights to break a sweat, and enjoys volleying stories with his brother. His day job of being a Mentat Assassin is just an excuse to keep the lights on, but he would like to write his way into retirement.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
