Wicked Offerings: and Tales of a Fearful Fall

In this collection of nine short tales of terror, Kyle Rolinatis takes you on an autumnal journey through horror and mayhem. In "Wicked Offerings," you meet Tara, who gets in touch with her mystical side as she seeks revenge against a total creep. In "Pumpkin Spice," join Eva as she navigates a "basic" girl's trip with her friends who make pumpkin spice their whole personality, even at their own peril. Come in to "Reb's Blue Plate" for a late-night bite. You just might not want to be there on a full moon. In "Friday Night Fright," it's time for the Friday night high school football game, and Maria is meeting a secret admirer under the bleachers. At least, she thinks she is. In "Batter Up," Bobby gets more than he bargained for when he goes trick or treating dressed as a baseball player with his grandpa's award-winning bat engraved with the emblem 666. In "Lourdes," Ron runs into a woman at a bar while visiting his family for Thanksgiving. Is Lourdes Ron's fantasy woman, or his worst nightmare? "No Pain, No Gain" follows a body dysmorphic new mother through the pratfalls of quick and easy weight loss and instant gratification. Country Roads, Take Me Home... In "Almost Heaven, West Virginia," a couple of ghost hunters and Tiktokers set out on a trip with a pit stop in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, home of the Mothman and a few secrets. In "Bastet," Rina's parents are on an archaeological dig in Egypt and miss her birthday party, but a statue of Bastet arrives as a gift. Is this ancient Egyptian cat cursed?
