My book, A Heaping Handful of Horror: A Collection of Original Short Stories has been adopted by Velox Books for a full professional re-release in 2026 — with wider distribution, a gorgeous new edition, and possibly even a professionally produced audiobook (cue delighted shrieking).

Stay tuned — re-release details coming soon.

Darkness doesn’t always scream. Sometimes it whispers—and then it stays.

A Heaping Handful of Horror is a cabinet of dark fiction: hundreds of pages of short stories that slip reality sideways. In this newly revised edition, Shelly Moore Caron blends psychological dread, supernatural hauntings, speculative chills, and the kind of quiet terror that follows you from room to room.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Psychological & domestic horror — neighbors with teeth behind their smiles, secrets that rot the floorboards, guilt that won’t stay buried.
• Supernatural & paranormal — whispers that warn, houses that remember, protectors you can feel but can’t quite see.
• Speculative & sci-fi dread — a broadcast that hushes the whole world, glitches in the ordinary that refuse to reset.
• Folk & urban-legend shadows — old gods, new sins, and places you should never go alone.
• A pulse of heart — mothers, children, survivors; tenderness threaded through the dark.

For readers who love the slow-burn unease of Shirley Jackson, the midnight morality of The Twilight Zone, or the contemporary bite of Black Mirror, these tales don’t just frighten—they linger.

Turn out the lights.
Open the book.
Try to stop at just one.
