Dead End Street

Rick R. Reed

The Old House at the End of a Dead End Street was More of a Dead End Than Any of Them Realized...

They were five misfit kids who had banded together in their small Ohio River town. Over the years, they had organized various clubs and now they had formed the Halloween Horror Club. The premise was simple: each week, each teen would spin a horrifying tale and at the end of five weeks, the scariest story won a prize. The twist: the stories had to be told in the infamous and abandoned Tuttle house, where, fifteen years earlier, an entire family had been murdered in their beds. The idea seems like a good one, until the kids begin to realize they may not be alone in the Tuttle house. Is someone — or something — watching them? Is it Paul Tuttle, the teenage son who disappeared fifteen years ago, the night his parents and sister were killed? Or is it something even more sinister?

With each story (each a short, original horror tale that stands on its own), the tension mounts... and so does the fury of this mysterious inhabitant of the house. And his rage could mean a real dead end for those who dare to invade his home...
