Welcome to the Summer issue of Tales from the Moonlit Path!
Autumn is whispering in the ear of August, promising cold secrets…
Summertime is traditionally lazy-time. It’s hot, humid, the front porch beckons, along with sweet iced tea. Thunderstorms rock the landscape and every insect imaginable, even those you’ve never seen before, pop up and say “How do ya do!” Everyone claims to love this time of year though if you’re anything like most horror lovers that we know, summer is simply the appetizer – or the foreplay – to the fall.
But, we shall give summer it’s due! And we have a number of sweat-inducing, fever-driving stories for you. The heat, the passion, the insanity that is summer – is welcome here. Thank you to the authors for your stories, and to the brave readers who haunt our pages.
We have more than two dozen sizzling-hot stories for you this issue! We are supremely proud of the excellent work we continue to receive, and are so pleased to be able to provide a venue for authors all over the world.
