Two kids, just wanting to spend the night together, got to spend their last night together:
EXCERPT:
"They came, fed, and ate—terrorized and killed
to their own beat. The sound of paper and plaster tearing now as
the entire wall opened and thousands of pairs of little winged creatures began
to fill the room. It didn’t matter anymore. He would soon be
dead.
He was on his knees when he saw the door
burst open. He didn’t think of being rescued. It never crossed his mind. He was beyond that.
Two towering beings stood there. Man-like but not men. Not unless men were eight feet tall and had
scales and wings!
They stood in the doorway, taking in the
scene before them. Then they stepped inside. They didn’t speak. They didn’t have to. They
had other ways of communication. The vermin watched them. Not as they had
watched their victims, but meekly, almost timidly. They fluttered quietly—and stood in groups
along the floor waiting.
A high-pitched wail of joy suddenly rose up
as the demons pointed at the young man. The boy wasn’t dead yet.
“Go.”
A command to finish the kill. The tiny creatures obeyed. Scott passed from dying to death in a micro
second. A bell rang from downstairs. The demons had to leave.
The vermin, now visible in bright daylight
clustered together. They were joyous. Like happy pets they
scampered and played with one another. Then they went back into the wall and the
paper became whole again as if by magic..."

"There is no doubt that she soars above the endless parade of independent horror authors to shine as a true star in the darkness. With the brilliant anthology House of Horrors she proves why she is a perennial favorite. To put it simply, this is a great assembly of tales anyone would be proud to have in their collection."
