The moment I’ve been waiting for (and nervously anticipating) has finally arrived – sign-ups are officially open for ARC copies of Short Sharp Shock! It’s surreal to be this close to sharing my collection of horror stories with the world, and I’m excited to offer a sneak peek to readers who crave chilling tales and atmospheric thrills.
What Is Short Sharp Shock?
Short Sharp Shock is a collection of horror stories crafted to unsettle, disturb, and entertain. With a blend of suspense, eerie moments, and emotional depth, each story dives into the darker corners of human experience. Horror fans can expect some truly unsettling scenarios, from psychological frights to supernatural terror – all while keeping the pages turning.
What Are ARC Copies?
For those new to the concept, ARC (Advance Reader Copy) copies are early versions of a book shared with readers before the official release. ARC readers play an invaluable role, providing feedback, helping to spread the word, and leaving reviews that can make all the difference in a book’s success. It’s an opportunity to be part of the launch journey, while getting an exclusive early look at what’s in store.
How to Sign Up
Simply follow this link! (I’ll also share it on my socials for easy access.) Whether you’re an avid horror reader, a fan of short stories, or just curious about what Short Sharp Shock has in store, I’d love to have you as part of my ARC team. Your feedback will help shape the launch, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on each spine-tingling twist and turn.
Why I’m Nervous – and Excited – for Your Reactions
Writing is typically a solitary endeavor, but publishing transforms it into a shared experience. It’s a blend of excitement and vulnerability, especially as this is my first time using ARC readers. I’m eager to connect with you all and to learn which moments make you hold your breath, which stories linger after you’ve put the book down, and any thoughts you may have.
What You Can Expect from Short Sharp Shock
This collection is designed for those who love horror with bite-sized intensity. Each story aims to leave a lasting impact, whether it’s an ending you didn’t see coming or a scenario that makes you question the shadows around you. So if you’re looking to immerse yourself in a haunting atmosphere, Short Sharp Shock will deliver.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support as an ARC reader is invaluable, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and connect with fellow horror fans.
