“This Isn’t How It Happens” by Shira Hanovich
Kate is dead. At least, that’s what everyone at this funeral seems to think. But when she gets out of her coffin and insists that this isn’t how it happens, her guests are stuck trying to bend to her will. As Kate gets closer to determining how the events of this funeral play out, the threat of death and existential fear loom ever closer.
“The House on the Hill” by Madeline Guest
Adam is dead. But he wasn’t a few minutes ago. As he tries to understand what the rest of his life (or, rather, death) will look like, 3 other new friends begin to figure out why they’ve been left behind.
“Static Cling” by Nina Broberg
When student-athlete Faith Mitchell is recovering from a major surgery following a terrible break to her elbow, she comes to believe she is being haunted by a malevolent ghost coming to take revenge on her.
