Got your nightlight on?A man journeys with a pregnant stranger, while unseen aliens deal out punishment from above.A phone call in the middle of the night reminds someone of a chilling mission.A priest's skin oozes a healing elixir.Are your blankets pulled up tight?A self-absorbed husband monitors the end of his existence over the internet.A teenager digs through a deep crust of waste and bone to win his freedom.A school field trip reveals a disturbing method for protecting our children.Are all your doors locked?If so, then perhaps you're ready for Joel Arnold's 'Bedtime Stories for the Apocalypse.'Armchair Interviews:"Arnold has a deft touch with horror that will leave a chill in your spine, but without the violence and gore of much modern horror. The stories remind me of Ray Bradbury at his darkest with their ability to play on the difference between what we know might happen and what we want to happen. These are complex tales with layers below the surface enjoyment of a story well written." D.L. Russell, editor of Strange, Weird & Wonderful Magazine:"Joel Arnold is the real deal. He elicits a subtle element of terror and justice through his writing, delivered without a heavy hand. His exceptional imagery effects readers in a way tht leaves them chilled and disturbed; causing the kind of behavior that will leave friends asking "what's bothering you," for days afterwards."
