Author Description

They say that blood is thicker than water...but some family members take that old adage a little too far.Our family and friends are the only things that stand between us and a frightening and dangerous world. But what if members of the "fam" aren't quite what they seem on the surface? They say that everyone has a hidden monster inside them, waiting for the quiet click of the lock that will unleash them. What do you do when you find yourself holding the key? In the twelfth volume of Ink Stains, authors Adan Berkowitz, Michael Martin Garrett, James Harper, Marty Keller, Jamie Landry, K. L. Lord, Paul Lubaczewski, Jose Gabriel Siles, Lani Steele, and Alyssa N. Vaughn explore the secret hostilities and inner demons that lie beneath the seeming calm waters of those we love the most. We may even find out how thick blood really can be. Ink Stains, a quarterly anthology published by Dark Alley Press, is about shining a stark light on the shadows of life, exploring those dimly lit corridors, and unearthing those long-buried secrets. We don't believe good will always triumph over evil or that someone will always be around to save the day. Sometimes all we have is ourselves. And the stories that keep us turning the page.
