LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Dark Moon Books is pleased to announce the new anthology book release of HORROR LIBRARY, VOLUME 9.

The +Horror Library+ anthologies are internationally praised as a groundbreaking source of contemporary horror short fiction stories—relevant to the moment and stunning in impact—from leading authors of the macabre and darkly imaginative.

Filled with Fears and Fantasy. Death and Dark Dreams. Monsters and Mayhem. Literary Vision and Wonder. Each volume of the +Horror Library+ series is packed with heart-pounding thrills and creepy contemplations as to what truly lurks among the shadows of the world(s) we live in.

Read Volume 9 in this ongoing anthology series, and then continue with the other volumes.

Shamble no longer through the banal humdrum of normalcy, but ENTER THE HORROR LIBRARY!

Volume 9 contains 30 all-original stories, including:

• In "Head Over Heels," a sentient unicycle enacts long-sought revenge against those who have wronged it.
• In "Eyes Without Their Lids," a couple with no memory of their prior lives, awaken in a doorless room and in full sight of a camera that watches all they do.
• In "False Witness," a man whose life was saved by a mysterious voice finds himself in the midst of a worse fate.
• . . . and more!

**Also including a special guest-artist's gallery of Michael A. Livolsi!
