Inhaltsangabe

Ten tales. Ten doors. One invitation into the dark. Silent Screams gathers ten chilling stories of themacabre, each one pulling you deeper into a world where fear whispers first, then closes in. Within these pages, ordinary moments twist into unsettling encounters, buried secrets begin to breathe, and nightmares refuse to fade when morning comes. Mark Welch guides readers through shadowed rooms, haunted minds, and places where the line between reality and terror grows dangerously thin. For readers who crave slow-building dread, eerie surprises, and stories that linger after the final page, this collection offers a journey into the unknown-where the darkness never stays buried, and the silence may be the most frightening sound of all. Also included is The Suffocating Manuscript, a novella that waits inside like one final locked door-ready to open when you are. The stories in Silent Screams are written for fans of short-form horror who appreciate stories that can be read in one sitting but remembered long afterward. From unsettling encounters to the slow creep of buried dread, the collection offers a chilling reminder that darkness has a way of finding its way back. "Horror is most powerful when it feels close enough to touch," said Welch. "With this collection, I wanted each story to give readers a different glimpse into the things we fear, the things we hide from, and the shadows that never quite disappear."

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mark E. Welch has spent a lifetime chasing the phantoms of story-first as a boy listening to the restless Atlantic on the coast of Maine, and later as a novelist drawn to the macabre, the historical, and the unexpected. Born in 1964, Welch's dark-edged imagination was forged on the rugged Maine coast, heavily influenced by devouring Stephen King's mid-1970s breakout masterpieces-like Carrie and 'Salem's Lot-as they took the literary world by storm. This taste for terror was balanced by the vivid clarity of E.B. White, Shirley Jackson, and Peter Straub, shaping a voice that is as precise as it is atmospheric. And by the way, Clive Barker's Hellraiser wasn't too shabby.That lifelong fixation has yielded a diverse body of work spanning over 14 novels, novellas, and short stories published across North America and Europe. While he frequently steps into the shadows with chilling tales like A Haunting on Cape Neddick, his Nightwitch Triolgy and his short story collections, his imagination refuses to be confined to the dark. He is the author of Kiwa's Story, a touching children's adventure about a young dolphin, as well as a series of comedic mysteries featuring Detective Charles W. Radcliff III-a well-meaning but delightfully bungling investigator whose unorthodox methods always uncover the truth.Welch now writes from the windswept coastal region of Viana do Castelo, Portugal, in the historic, shadow-woven district of Montedor. There, alongside his wife, Eva, and their two Boxer dogs, Thor and True Blue, he lives surrounded by ancient stones and the roar of the sea, continuously conjuring tales meant to haunt, humor, and surprise readers until the very last page.
