Graveyard People: The Cedar Hill Short Horror Stories

by The Undead Rat on November 21, 2009

This weekend spotlights two collections of short horror stories centered around the town of Cedar Hill, Ohio where “weird sh*t happens”.

Gary A. Braunbeck is an Ohio horror author who has written well over two hundred short stories and dozens of books. The town where more than half his work is located is called Cedar Hill and it’s not a nice place to live.

Earthling Publications began collecting all of the Cedar Hill short stories which coincided with the publication of a series of novels through leisure which is bringing to a close the first cycle of horror in Cedar Hill.

Mr. Braunbeck has assured me that, unfortunately for the inhabitants, the end of the first cycle of horror is not the end of horror in Cedar Hill.

Welcome to Cedar Hill, Ohio, a deceptively commonplace bordertown between the familiar everyday and the phantasms, fancies, hauntings, and enchantments that wait in dimly-lit places for a chance to pass through the scrim of perception and make this place their home, as well.

Those who live here don’t really have any choice and neither will you.

Cedar Hill: “Main Street” tinged with the macabre, located just this side of night. This is the first of approximately 3 volumes to be published by Earthling collecting the author’s stories set in his fictional town of Cedar Hill.

Each collection will feature original stories as well as reprints that have been reworked for this collection, plus historical elements such as family trees and a town map.

Deena Warner provides cover art and over two dozen interior illustrations.

Earthling Publications is offering PDF copies of two of the collected short horror stories: All But the Ties Eternal and Small Song.
