black cat approaches, do you let it cross your path, or run in the opposite direction? From the superstitious to the unlucky, from a witch’s familiar to a soul stealing grave robber, black cats have captured our imagination and remain solidly in the realm of the dark. 

Join authors from around the world for never before published horror, dark fantasy and mystery short stories and poems featuring the beloved, feared and mystical black cat. Black Cat Tales showcases a diverse group of authors ranging in age from 17 to 80, some with multiple award winning publications under their belts, for others, this will be the first time seeing their work in print.

A Hodgepodge of Horror by Tony Evans

A small town’s sinister secret comes to light on a dark and stormy night leaving a young boy to deal with the repercussions.

A man is for forced to confront his extreme fear of cockroaches head on while doing his best to keep a grip on his rapidly declining sanity.

A lone backpacker seeks refuge in a small cabin only to discover that he may have been better off stranded out in the blizzard.

A young lady’s fascination with her barista’s unique tattoos leads to a very unlikely situation that may put one of them in mortal danger.

In his latest collection – A Hodgepodge of Horror – master storyteller Tony Evans takes you on a dimly lit journey to the darkest corners of his imagination with eleven stories, all told in a style reminiscent to that of Tales from the Crypt.

Dive into the churning vortex of the imagination in the sixth edition of HorrorTree.com’s Trembling with Fear anthology. This spellbinding collection presents the pinnacle of speculative fiction, printed throughout the year 2022 in our online ‘Trembling With Fear’ magazine.Our journey across the speculative cosmos spans the vast spectrum of the genre, touching down on the grim shadowlands of horror, the sparkling expanses of science fiction, the enigmatic realms of fantasy, and territories yet uncharted.

The tales in this anthology, handpicked from the digital quill of a diverse array of global voices, embody the electrifying thrill and bone-chilling dread that is the heart of speculative fiction. Their words weave realities that unsettle and intrigue, leaving the mind trembling on the precipice of the unknown.

As you traverse the surreal landscapes within these pages, brace yourself for narratives that gnaw at your nerves, spark wonder, and incite contemplation. The works within this anthology are not merely stories—they are portals to the myriad worlds that dance on the edge of possibility.

In this extraordinary Year 6 collection, you are not just an observer—you are an explorer. And every page turned is a new frontier. We hope you relish this odyssey into the strange and spectacular as much as we have cherished curating it. Enjoy the tremor.
