Nora craves a quiet life as a librarian, until she hears whispers of the library’s Restricted Section. Rumored to have claimed a girl’s life years ago, no one dares enter.
But Nora’s strange and sudden obsession drives her to uncover its secrets in this FREE 13k-word novelette.
Learn why the small town of eerie Acadia hides so many strange happenings.
PLUS, two more exclusive short stories only found in this anthology!
BOOK 1 IN THE EERIE ACADIA SERIES – BOOK OF FEAR
Fans of the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ will relate to Susan’s middle school plight in the early 90s when her lifelong friendship with Maddie is threatened by a relentless school bully.
In her determined pursuit to win back her friend, Susan stumbles upon the chilling “Book of Fear” hidden in the woods. The book promises one wish if she can face a night of all her fears. Susan confronts spine-chilling phantoms and malevolent shadows, blurring reality and nightmare as she desperately fights for the wish to win Maddie back.
Book of Fear is a quick 10k word tale of courage, friendship, and battling inner demons.
THE STRANGER is my first published work. It’s a 10k-word novelette, told in a folk-tale style with elements of magical realism and a gentle thread of LGBT representation.
In the quiet mountain town of Baylor, a mysterious stranger arrives with the coming storm—and unsettling changes soon follow.
Barb must face her long-hidden love for her friend Greta, while Greta struggles with the lingering memory of a husband lost to war. Lifelong neighbors Harold and Seth find their bitter quarrel unraveling, and sweet Evie, the town shepherdess, is torn between two suitors until fate intervenes.
The Stranger moves like a silent shadow through Baylor, touching every life. When he departs, no one will remember him—yet none will ever be the same.
APOLOGIES!
I’m taking a break from narrating.
I’ll be working to resurrect my YouTube channel and Podcast of creepy stories soon!
Thank you for your patience. In the mean-time, I do have quite a bit of back content recorded to keep you busy!
‘BLACK ROSE READS‘ is a YouTube, Spotify, iTunes and Google podcast that reads creepy, comical, and even heartwarming character driven stories. We post about once a week. Most of the fictional tales are about a half hour long, written by Mary Black Rose, and featured authors as well! If you are an author who would like your story read, reach out to me on the contact form here. Thanks for Checking out Black Rose Reads!
Hi, my name is Mary Black Rose, and I love stories! I’m a very eclectic writer, author, and narrator.
In the past, I’d try to force myself to buckle down and stick to one genre, but in recent years, I’ve hit ‘fuck it!’
My ADHD brain likes to jump around. I write stories that will make you feel and contemplate life. I now go where words decide to flow.
I write in several genres:
MaryBlackRose.com – Features horror, comedy, and magical realism. Pretty much anything that is NOT steamy or BDSM romance.
MsBlackRose.com – Features my Erotica and BDSM content.
