Scars and Candy: Tales of Terror and Dark Mystery

By Sidney Williams

Dark, deadly desires, desperation, brutal vengeance and grim surprises thread through these stories of human evil with the occasional touch of noir and the supernatural. Welcome to the world of Scars and Candy.

A wrong turn sends a couple into the realm of twisted rural religious practices. A group of high academic achievers plan a dark punishment for a bully, and things get worse than they could have imagined. A predator with plans for a night terrorizing his victims sees the tables turned in a strange way. A New Orleans adult bookseller observes a patron with an offbeat fantasy collide with merciless French Quarter legacy.

These tales include some of the author's earliest published short fiction, and this new, updated edition that coincides with the release of the first ever trade paper volume, includes three recent bonus stories not featured in the original Crossroad Press eBook collection.

The short story that grew into the novel Dark Hours is here as well, and a story deemed too dark and brutal by the editors of a noted erotic anthology series is included too. In all you'll find nineteen tales interspersed with short little shocks of flash fiction.

Open the cover and brace yourself for an excursion into a bizarre, savage dark side you won't soon forget.
