I’ll be posting all contributors here, one-a-day, to reveal the table
of contents for the latest anthology that I’ve created: Pop the Clutch: Thrilling Tales
of Rockabilly, Monsters, and Hot Rod Horror, to be published by Dark Moon Books in January
14, 2019!
. . . The Fighting
Pumpkins cheerleaders took up their usual position along the wall. Iris
produced a pack of cigarettes. About half the girls took one, while the other
half brushed their hair, or checked their lipstick, or did any one of a dozen
other things that signaled “too cool to be in class, yet still too cool for
you” to anyone who happened to wander by. Andrea waved off the cigarette she
was offered, choosing instead to rest her shoulders against the wall and watch
the others with a possessive predator’s eye.These were her Pumpkins. They wouldn’t be hers forever, would move on to the protectorates of other monsters, other ideal lives, but for now, for the moment, they belonged entirely to her. She didn’t have to share if she didn’t want to, and upon careful consideration, she found that she didn’t want to.
Which was why it was such a
problem when the hot rod roared up on the narrow stretch of asphalt behind the
auto shop and the boy in the black leather jacket leaned out the window,
grabbed Iris around the waist, and hauled her, shrieking, into the
car . . .
