Veronica Leigh’s short story, The Competition, appears in the recently released book, Night Terrors Vol. 24: Short Horror Stories Anthology. Published by Scare Street, the read is now available in digital and print formats at Amazon and other vendors.

 

Amazon Description:

Turn page after page of relentless terror…

An old piece of pottery holds an ancient evil within, until a man and his daughter unwittingly release it into the world. A private chauffeur picks up a very strange passenger, who reveals something terrifying lurking along the dark night roads, just out of sight. And justice hunts down a terrified man, when he discovers his ancestor may have committed a gruesome crime…

Scare Street is proud to present fourteen diabolical new tales in this bone-chilling collection. Each ghastly page unleashes a new nightmare, ripped from the depths of your psyche.

It’s almost as if this book has a mind of its own; a monstrous, disturbed mind, a mind full of dark dreams, and twisted nightmares.

It wants to make you shiver with fear. It longs to hear you scream.

And it knows exactly what scares you…
