In the pages of this book lurk many man-eating creatures. Some are zombies, returned from the dead to eat the flesh and brains of the living. Some are ordinary animals, no longer content to be on the bottom of the food chain. Some are were-creatures, humans able to transform into animal form, and oh-so very hungry when they do.

Small Bites presents nearly 200 horrific stories, all told in a mere 500 words or less. Their tones range from the subtle to the extreme, from the humorous to the erotic. There is something to satisfy the taste of any horror lovers’ pallet.

Here, well-established authors sit side by side with up-and-coming stars of the small press and newcomers seeing their very first stories in print. Over 100 writers rose to the challenge of writing scary tales using only a handful of carefully chosen words.

This is horror stripped down to its bare bones, without an ounce of fat. These stories bite fast, and they bite deep. And now, they’re ready to sink their teeth into you…
