Queens
by Alyson Faye

In our silences

tsunamis surge,

we have no need of speech…

we are the keepers

of secrets,

of your lost histories,

once revered, and feared

now forgotten, mocked …

you know us not

mirror images,

one breathes,

the other feeds

ghost sisters

communing, waiting

for the dark is coming

and we will rule …

Adam is having nightmares about a skeletal shadow figure, who he calls Spindleshanks. Soon his whole class are sharing the same nightmare. Adam’s dad, Rob, knows that Spindleshanks can’t be real. But is he? One terrible night Rob has to face his son’s nightmare creature and fight for his son’s life. What would you sacrifice to have your child back safe?

“A decent two-for-one. Alyson Faye brings the engaging and eerie in equal measure.” CC Adams – horror / dark fiction author
