The Blood of Before

by

Scott Hale



is an anthology of six interconnected horror stories that take place before The Bones of the Earth series. 



A mother, called across the Victorian countryside, to return to her family estate and the violent lineage she left behind.



The writings of a supernatural investigator sent to explore a village where people die day by day, and the dead refuse to stay buried.



A college graduate, recently fired and drowning in debt, who agrees to babysit her former professor’s child—unaware...

Video is Dead 



The fading memories Jacob has of his deceased mother are buried on a few VHS home movies. Recently haunted by recurring dreams of her, he sets out to pick up a used VCR and finds one at a local yard sale. 



However, this is no ordinary VCR. According to the owner, this particular model not only plays movies, but it allows one to communicate with the dead. 



Fueled by curiosity, Jacob takes it home and soon discovers that what he possesses opens a doorway to darkness, death, and lust. 

Wayne is an avid stargazer, and nothing makes him happier than being with his boyfriend, Adam, beneath a night sky that is blanketed with stars. They live near a park and lake along a dead-end street, and late-one evening, while gazing through Wayne’s telescope, they see a flash of light in the distance with a boom of thunder.

They’re both concerned and curious about what it was. Perhaps a small plane had crashed, or something else could have exploded. They weren’t sure. So they both decide to go for a hike over the trails behind their house.

Their journey...
