Excerpts from 'Night of the Living Pocong': "Okay, so these are generally referred to as Pocong," began Rayyan, very matter of fact, "There have been quite a surprising number of sightings of these creatures and effectively, they are zombies.""What, zombies? Like the undead?""Yeah, they were once just normal people like me and you. Sometimes they died naturally, sometimes prematurely and they are wrapped up in a kain kafan, a white shroud secured around the head and feet, which is part of the traditional burials that go on around these parts," explained Rayyan."Right, so they come back to life?""Not exactly Adam. It's said that after death the soul will stay on earth for around 45 days before it passes on to the next life, but they can only go if they are at peace with their previous life. If they don't make peace by then or know they won't be successful in doing so in time to pass, they tend to jump out of their graves."Excerpts from 'A Family of Three - The Fiendish Union with an Incubus': The Incubus entered her. The breath in her lungs exited. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She felt his member stretching her in every direction. Her flesh was tearing around him. She felt him in her intestines, rupturing vessels and bruising her innards. The blood ran down her body and onto the white sheets. Every thrust left a pang of ache. Her body twitched like a bug that had been squashed and left to suffer.If you enjoy reading creepy ghost stories and spine-chilling horror fiction with a supernatural twist, you'll love this anthology!
