Ever broken one of God’s “Big Ten”? Of course you have. We all have.
Except for murder and adultery—the consequences of which are obvious—what were the results? A little guilt? Did you disappoint yourself or someone else? Or did no one even notice?
THOU SHALT NOT… is an anthology of horror and crime fiction where someone breaks one of the Ten Commandments with dire, deadly, or disastrous results.
1. Worshiping false gods
2. Engaging in idolatry
3. Misusing God’s name
4. Violating the day of rest
5. Dishonoring parents
6. Murdering
7. Committing adultery
8. Stealing
9. Bearing false testimony
10. Coveting what belongs to your neighbor
Two tablets, ten commandments. They’ve all been broken…
Let’s break them again!

We all know what blood is. It’s spilled accidentally. Or worse, on purpose—often ending in death. But squalor… a quality or state marked by filthiness and degradation from neglect or poverty. Sordid, wretched, seamy, seedy.
A short fiction anthology of horror and psychological thrillers, Tales of Blood and Squalor depicts wretched, low-class characters living in filth and poverty. With misery and blood.
A novelist a tad too committed to realism in her craft, a tourist thirsting for blood, the king of a trailer park dungeon… These fourteen stories from Dark Cloud Press will scare you, shock you, and make you reel.
Anthology authors include Sarah Gribble, Joshua Bartolome, Rob Francis, Lee Forsythe, C.W. Blackwell, Rainie Zenith, James Edward O’Brien, Lee Allen Howard, Gab Halasz, B.D. Prince, Lela E. Buis, Jay Seate, Rachel Verkade, and Bryan Dyke.
