Description: A whiskey-soaked anthology where biker bars replace haunted houses and brotherhood turns feral fast. Tales from the Tavern delivers hard, ugly stories that hit like a straight shot and linger like a bad memory.
Bikers, whiskey, and brutal secrets--when the engines cool, the real horror begins. Tales from the Tavern is a short story collection that rides straight past safe roads and polite scares. Two bikers, Johnny and Usher, head into the desert for a weekend of hard miles, cheap booze, and stories swapped around a campfire. With every drink, the tales get uglier--and a lot closer to home. Inside dim taverns and along endless blacktop, you'll meet outlaws, ex-cons, preachers on the brink, and men who should never be trusted with a secret. Some are hunted. Some are hunting. A few are already too far gone. These stories aren't about monsters in the dark--they're about the kind who drink beside you, swear they've changed, and smile like they mean it. Fans of Joe Lansdale's rough-edged horror and Chuck Palahniuk's psychological gut-punches will feel right at home. This is crime-soaked, dust-choked short fiction where revenge is casual, violence is personal, and every bad decision leaves a mark. Pull up a chair, order another round, and listen close--these stories don't stay on the page, and they don't let go easy.
