    About this ebook

    The Indie Collaboration presents its thirteenth anthology of short stories, freely donated by independent writing's most ghoulish ghosts and gremlins. In this, our third annual Halloween collection, we serve up another sacrificial platter of chilling tales to keep you up at night. If you choose to read these tales of ancient evils and sinister sorcerers, of ghostly hauntings, witches, serial killers and avenging angels, then remember to keep a light on tonight and don't forget to check under the bed.

    The Indie Collaboration grew out of a group of independent authors who decided to show the world how great works of fiction can be, without the involvement of any large publishing companies, by creating a direct channel between themselves and their readers. Each author in this anthology has freely donated their time and work and are committed to the Indie Collaboration’s cause:

    “We offer the best of indie writing in bite size pieces and wherever possible, for free.”

    We hope you enjoy our books.

      1, Final Entry of the journal of Gladys Atkins

      My time is done.

      The mask is slowly peeling away.

      None shall believe that a woman born in 1844 could have endured through two world wars but the words in this journal are true.

      In reality my life came to an end in 1914, just two months before the outbreak of the First World War. That was when George came to me; he held, softly, my hand in his as he explained to me what will be.

      When God cast out Lucifer and his followers He did not leave our world to be ruled by evil. He sent angels to stand guard over us.

      The 14-18 war changed all that. I served in France as a nurse, a career that I followed through with and ending up as a Matron, a promotion that came as a result of the Second World War’s London Blitz.

      But my new life began on the brutal battlefields of that horrendous war when the flower of British youth was decimated amidst the poppies and mud of Flanders’ Fields,

      It was there within the sounds of distant artillery fire that I tended a young man with wounds to both his legs. He was worried that he might lose them. He told me that his grandfather had lost both his legs when he had fallen beneath the wheels of a coal wagon – I looked into his eyes as the memory rushed back. Again,
