Two series by B. Carter — a literary psychological drama for adults, and a Goosebumps-style horror series for kids. Every book stands alone; read them in any order. Each series has its own site with the full catalog and per-book pages.
Two doorways, two audiences. Psychological drama for adults; scares for kids who want to read under the covers. More voices to come — we’re open to other independent authors working in literary and dark fiction.
“You were warned.”
Twenty standalone novels, one small American town. A stranger with still hands sits down across from an ordinary person, names the exact cost of the choice they are about to make, and leaves. Every protagonist believes the warning. Every protagonist makes the choice anyway. Four out now.
