The Cogongrass King
Author:Aubrey May
Fifteen years ago, a thing made of rust and whispers stole my brother from the cogon grass. They called it a tragedy; I knew it was a monster. Now, I'm a detective, and I've returned to the village that screams my name in its silence. Another child is gone, and the scent of rust is on the wind again. This time, I'm not a terrified child running for a tree. This time, I'm hunting the thing that waits in the dark, the king of the field that wears a crown of stolen limbs.
The Silvanus Curse
Author:Tracey Mitchelle
Three toads. That's how it always begins. For Leo, a state park worker, it started as a joke—a blown cart belt after shooing away the strange trio. But when a child vanishes and mutilated animals appear, the joke curdles into terror. An old-timer speaks of a drowned town beneath the park's lake, and a vengeful guardian that demands tribute. Now, with his crewmates missing or broken, Leo is the last one left to face the ancient horror that rises from the depths, a horror whose arrival is always announced by three silent, watching toads.

It whispers to her in sleep-paralysis-induced nightmares, leaving real bruises and a single, chilling demand: "Follow me." After years of failed exorcisms and therapies, a fragile peace is found in the arms of her husband. But the girl has returned, no longer screaming, but smiling. She’s waiting for Elara to finally break, to get tired of fighting, and to take her cold, dead hand.
