Author Blake Arledge became interested in horror at an early age. He has followed the movies and read the short stories. In fact, he dreams in horror stories. Some would call such dreams nightmares and become upset having them. Blake on the other hand, writes them down, knowing someday those dreams might inspire a good story.

Blake relishes the opportunity to hear of other people's nightmares. Not because he enjoys their pain, but, once again, he knows those dreams make good scary stories, stories that can be written down someday. Someday is now. This collection of horror short stories is a compilation based on nightmares Blake has collected over time.
