Killing It Softly includes stories from New York Times best selling authors Nancy Holder and Elaine Cunningham, together with more shocking short nightmares from the finest award winning female writers in the genre.Your heart won't stop pounding as you dig into the pages of this book; from the moment you immerse yourself in the first tale, about a women waking to find herself inside a coffin, buried alive, until the last, a coming of age story about a sixteen-year-old's journey of self-discovery amidst all hell breaking loose. You'll find your proof that women can, indeed, do a wicked dance between science fiction and horror as they penetrate your darkest thoughts, to bring forth stories promising to leave you with a lingering anxiety you can't seem to shake.

It wouldn't be horror if there wasn't an ode to Edgar Allen Poe...we have two masterfully written tales. There are stories off the odd and unusual, stories that take a perilous dive into worlds of disturbing shadows, and there's even an exorcism-in a tale that daringly addresses the heartbreaking disease that is alcoholism.Enter at your own risk...Featuring: Rebecca Snow, H.R.
