Deep down in our tiny, beating hearts, we’ve always known there was something dark and frightening about coal.

Now the folks who know better than anyone how dark coal country really is have compiled an array of (supposedly) fictional terrors centered on the region, and Fictionwise–knowing the peril of holding on to such things–has the eBook collection of these sinister tales on sale!
