Out now! “The Beast of Always,” a short story by C. Charles Knight is out in the Graveside Press production What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology.

From the publisher:
There’s no solid proof they exist … but the audio recordings and video transcripts, the old journal entries and first-hand accounts and tales passed down through the generations, the evidence can’t be so easily dismissed. You’ll know them by the smell of sulfur and rot, or by the steady ringing in your ears. You’ll hear them knock if you don’t keep that lantern in the window lit or forget to leave an offering. And if you catch it on film … don’t look a second time.

Monsters that were once human … and monsters who want to be. From the deepest parts of Appalachia and the darkest parts of coastal forests, to old rail yards and your very own backyard, there’s always somewhere for them to hide.
