One-Day-in-hell-cover art by Ian Adams

From the mean streets of Hell’s capitol city to the well-appointed condominiums of Miskatonic Valley Planned Community, these 13 stories explore where unexpected realities and familiar horrors meet. Face lifeboat economics with the unsinkable Mr. Pinneped, hunt witches in Colonial Massachusetts, dodge suicide bombers in a quiet American city, and take a guided tour of New York’s most haunted house. This book will take you places that you have never imagined, and you will never forget. 

Praise for One Day in Hell: "This is why we read short fiction: the shock of the unexpected and the thrill of discovery.  Gregory Adams writes stories that are clever, inventive, fun, and a joy to read. They are light and dark at once, and offer the pleasant sting of subversion and strangeness we find in the masters of the form." ---Brendan Halpin, author of Enter the Bluebird, Donorboy, and It Takes a Worried Man

"Inspired by the tentacular monstrosities that wait without, and seasoned with enough humor to make you laugh, Adams' writing is a joy to read from start to finish." --- Kevin Kulp, author of Elephants and Rain and TimeWatch

"Had Roald Dahl and H.P. Lovecraft managed to combine across time and space, the result would have been a creature of unspeakable hideousness and malevolence. Fortunately, we can skip the hideousness and malevolence  and enjoy the stories of Gregory Adams, whose work provides the sharp jolt of dark humor that marks the best of Dahl's work wrapped around the existential terror at the heart of Lovecraft's. You'll scream--with delight!"   ---Seamus Cooper, author of The Mall of Cthulhu and Terror at The Shore

Ocean Water

A small Massachusetts town suffers dozens of mysterious disappearances. Chesapeake Bay is the last refuge from the walking dead. Flying saucers invade Hollywood, a demon in Harvard Square uses a chess board as an instrument of torment, and something is very wrong on the Lemmon farm in Burberry County, Maine.
 

Meet the future's greatest hero, sail with a crew of covetous pirates, wage war on Mars, and cast your vote in an extremely competitive midterm election. Each story is a glimpse into a world of horror, of humor and of despair. Each story is an echo of the unusual, the unreal and the unexpected.

​

Witty, surreal tales of control and lack of it, power and its discontents, written in colorful prose that moves you along like a car on a rollercoaster!
Leela Corman, creator of Unterzakhn and Yahrzeit

In 1968 Bethany Caldecott, Margot Johansson and Elizabeth Morrow were college freshman and members of W.I.T.C.H.--Women's International Terrorist Corps from Hell. What started as political theatre has become a deadly struggle for political power. Bethany is a fast-rising U.S. Senator steps away from the Presidency, and Margot is a charismatic activist backed by fanatical supporters, looking to bring Bethany to her cause.

Now, Elizabeth is caught up in Margot and Bethany's rivalry. And both women have learned there is far more than mere theatre behind the power and influence of W.I.T.C.H.

Reviews From Readers

Atmospheric Horror
 

This book is fairly well-crafted, with a strong emotional reality. Some pieces are definitely scary, and many succeed well at “uncanny.” Some are even darkly humorous. Adams delivers a compelling and immersive collection.

​

A few highlights :

​

  • “The Most Haunted House in New York State” (suspenseful)

  • “The Sean Mutiny” (fun conceit and delightful trajectory)

  • “Mr. Pinniped Adrift” (laugh-out-loud punchline)

  • “One Rainy Day on Azathoth Road” (leaves you hanging—in the good way)

  • “One Day in Hell” (vivid and immersive)

​

If you like horror and weird stories, you’re sure to find something in this collection that hits your sweet spot.
