About The Book
A whiskey-soaked anthology where biker bars replace haunted houses and brotherhood turns feral fast. Tales from the Tavern delivers hard, ugly stories that hit like a straight shot and linger like a bad memory.
Bikers, whiskey, and brutal secrets—when the engines cool, the real horror begins.
Tales from the Tavern is a short story collection that rides straight past safe roads and polite scares. Two bikers, Johnny and Usher, head into the desert for a weekend of hard miles, cheap booze, and stories swapped around a campfire. With every drink, the tales get uglier—and a lot closer to home.
Inside dim taverns and along endless blacktop, you’ll meet outlaws, ex-cons, preachers on the brink, and men who should never be trusted with a secret. Some are hunted. Some are hunting. A few are already too far gone. These stories aren’t about monsters in the dark—they’re about the kind who drink beside you, swear they’ve changed, and smile like they mean it.
Fans of Joe Lansdale’s rough-edged horror and Chuck Palahniuk’s psychological gut-punches will feel right at home.
This is crime-soaked, dust-choked short fiction where revenge is casual, violence is personal, and every bad decision leaves a mark. Pull up a chair, order another round, and listen close—these stories don’t stay on the page, and they don’t let go easy.
