Summary
"You're here because you like horror. You enjoy the strange and macabre. I can help with that," says author C.D. Thorne. In his book Bedtime Stories For The Monster In Your Closet, he presents eleven short stories in the true spirit of horror anthologies. Thorne's work explores human nature through relatable experiences such as love, desperation, and ambition, all wrapped in a thick blanket of fear.
In "Once They Appear"; a man waits for the inevitable, as mysterious figures appear worldwide. When an infomercial promises a desperate insomniac relief, he discovers some deals are too good to be true in "Special TV Offer". A boy named Stevie must help care for an elderly man chained in his family's attic, in "Grandfather". All is not what it seems in this family. A divorcee reluctantly goes on a date with someone she met online and the results are far worse than she could ever have imagined in "Swipe Left". These original tales of horror and more, in a book that will have you questioning if things do go bump in the night
On today's show, CD talks about his past paranormal experiences, his inspirations for writing such spooky and ironic horror, and he talks specifically about some of the stories in this chilling book as well!
