Split Scream Volume Six - Ryan T. Jenkins

The SPLIT SCREAM series goes to its darkest corners yet in this sixth volume, with these twin odes to horrible parents! Two New Weird Horror novelettes by Ryan T. Jenkins and David Corse.

COME TO DADDY by Ryan T. Jenkins

A damaged man endeavors to put the pieces back together after a lifetime of destruction; to reckon with his wife and son leaving him; to attend to the dreams of his dead mother's well-manicured hand scuttling around at night; and the haunted movie poster of a B-list actor coming to life before his eyes. 

Distilled from the classic Gothic haunted house narrative comes this twisted ode to punk rock and fatherhood. 

MOTHER IS COMING HOME by David Corse

When Otis discovers an undulating, flesh-like portal near his barn, he believes he's finally found a way to escape his hometown and travel the world. All he has to do is sell the oddity to the highest bidder and leave home for good. 

His plans crumble when, during a drunken argument, he tosses his sickly, cruel mother through the portal. His elation is brief, though, as Otis realizes he must rescue his mother and protect the strange opening from prying eyes, no matter the cost.
