Revolve

How do you close a revolving door? Revolve is a revolving door of thirteen tales that reimagine horror classics from Frankenstein to fairy tales, including La Strega Ragna, fan favorite from Next Door (Door Volume I) and twelve new works. Short stories like Sip that look at Jekyll & Hyde from the other side, Stuck is influenced by The Yellow Wallpaper, and Bite Me is for vampire fans. Fairy tale nightmares Growth Spurt, Beauty Sleep, and Careful explore women taking their bodies back. All the Way to the Top helps the mediocre male find his place in the zombie cannon and revolve again tells us we are right there with him. Emily's Last Ride and Cell Number 34 are flash fiction 'what ifs', while Nails may have your checking the locks on your windows. And finally the contents of a file make the novella The Forge- a deep dive into an underwater laboratory and the sinkhole of a mother's regret.

No one gets out without going in
to find the end you have to begin
old tales lay grieving, tales have turned true
leave them behind and they cling to you
vampires werewolves witches brew
fairy tales and poems you thought you knew
just for a moment, the veil is torn
spin into a world of classics reborn
round you go, then round once more
how do you close a revolving door?
no one gets out, without going in.
