Waking the Dead
by Bryan Asbury

Some nightmares don’t end when you wake up. Some are only beginning.

Step into the dark, where terror lurks in the shadows, ordinary lives take extraordinary turns, and the consequences of our choices can be far more horrifying than anyone could imagine.

In Waking the Dead, horror author Bryan Asbury delivers eight chilling short stories that plunge readers into a world of dread, violence, and retribution. With an unsettling blend of suspense, disturbing twists, and dark imagination, Asbury explores the terrifying side of human nature—and the horrors that emerge when things go horribly wrong.

Eight stories. Countless reasons to be afraid.

“This is bar none one of the most well-paced and terrifying short stories that I've heard in a very long time. Bryan continues to demonstrate a keen knack for getting into the listener's mind and leading them down a dark, shadowy stretch of abject terror. This one is, at worst, a solid addition to a horror anthology series, or at best, a movie in the making."
—P.D. Williams author of "Dark House, Many Rooms.”

"Bryan Asbury’s ability to craft stories that are both enthralling and eerie continues to set him apart in the world of horror literature and cinema." —TBM Horror

"Asbury’s new short story collection, “Waking the Dead,” represents a significant evolution of his literary style. When looking at his new stories, his stellar dialogue writing and excellent eye for characters are still very much present, but they’re paired with a shocking, more violent tone that works remarkably well. They won’t appeal to everyone, but they work remarkably well for horror fans who either don’t mind or prefer an edgier bend to the stories they read." —Yellow Scene Magazine
