A changeling binds a young girl to a mirror and takes her place...A salesman pursues closing a deal until it costs him everything...An ancient Duchess graciously invites you on a tour of her orangerie...This is the world of Crone Girls Press. Here, the shadows keep their secrets and the moon hides from deeds cast in her glow. In these pages, the Fae walk as human, the dead burn with their anger at the living, the creatures that live in the dark places of the wrong zip code creep out of the shadows and into the kitchen. Stories We Tell After Midnight is a collection of short horror fiction from established names in the genre as well as a number of debut authors.Table of ContentsWelcome by Rachel A.
