Book 1: Dark X-Mas

Holiday Drabbles: 100 Word Holiday Horror Stories

I’m dreaming of a Dark Christmas
With every little tale that I read
When the knife blades glisten
And scared children listen
To hear slayers in the night
Where sugarplums can be gory
In the frightening elf story
And trees eat favorite household pets
There are gifts on all the pages
Of terror through the ages
Told of gift-giving regrets

I’m dreaming of a Dark Christmas
With every little tale I read
While the bright lights shine
And the family dines
In the soft fireplace glow
So hold loved ones tight
It’s not Santa visiting tonight
Death lies buried in the snow.

Earth Invasion 2020 anthology from Leilani Indie Publishing, featuring Wendy Cheairs, book cover with an alien ship over a burning city

Earth Invasion 2020

Leilani Indie Publishing · with Verlene Landon, Phillip Shadowdragon, Chandra Trulove Fry, and Lilly Rayman

Five authors, including USA Today Bestselling Author Verlene Landon, Phillip Shadowdragon, and Chandra Trulove Fry, have come together to respond to one worldwide catastrophe: aliens have come for Earth.

“I’m interrupting the scheduled programming to bring to you breaking news. As yet, even officials seem to be unable to comment. The first reports coming in seem to be somewhat unbelievable, and I can assure you, this is not a prank. As you can see from the live footage we are broadcasting now, the White House is in flames. We are unsure yet what has happened, but it is believed at this stage to have been a rocket attack. It just… well… it… exploded.”

Will you open Earth Invasion 2020 and be the first to find out how the planet responds to aliens on Earth?
