Sweet Success for Shannon Lawrence

Published May 14, 2020

By: Darby Karchut

Congratulations to Shannon Lawrence! Her story, FOLLOWING THE RULES, is featured in the horror anthology, EIGHTEEN: STORIES OF MISCHIEF & MAYHEM (Underland Press March 20). In her story, a little girl learns why she wasn’t supposed to see her night parents.

ABOUT THE ANTHOLOGY: The eighteenth Tarot card is the Moon, and those who raise their arms to her know she offers Mercy and Severity in equal measure. This is the great river at night, where wolves howl and all doors are open. All futures are possible, and every truth is elusive. This is the source and passion of EIGHTEEN: STORIES OF MISCHIEF & MAYHEM. These twenty-four stories from voices—old and new—celebrate the inevitability of fate, the horror of prophecy, and the shivering delight of not knowing what comes next. Cross over the threshold with us, and explore the strange, the weird, and the fantastic. Do not fear what lies ahead. It is the same as what came before. The only difference is you. This is Eighteen, and nothing will be the same. Copies of the anthology may be purchased from Amazon or Underland Press

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A fan of all things fantastical and frightening, Shannon Lawrence writes primarily horror and fantasy. Her stories can be found in over forty anthologies and magazines, and her two solo horror short story collections, Blue Sludge Blues & Other Abominations and Bruised Souls & Other Torments are available from online retailers. When she’s not writing, she’s hiking through the wilds of Colorado and photographing her magnificent surroundings, where, coincidentally, there’s always a place to hide a body or birth a monster.
