Summer Bludgeon: 33 Mystery/Suspense/Thriller Tales That Will Haunt Your Summer Nights

Sun-drenched days promise carefree bliss, but what lurks beneath the surface and in the spaces where shadows fall? Summer Bludgeon peels back the idyllic facade to reveal stories of broken dreams, twisted desires, and sinister secrets that simmer beneath the long light of day. Inspired by the haunting twist on a classic lyric from Grease-where "summer lovin'" becomes summer bludgeon-this anthology explores the dark underbelly of the season. Prepare to be unnerved as love turns toxic, relationships splinter, and the heat brings not just sweat, but a cold shiver of fear.

Edited by H. Dair Brown and Robin Knabel, this anthology weaves together tales from acclaimed and emerging authors alike. Disturb Ink Books publishes fiction for readers who like their horror quiet, their thrillers sharp, and their noir steeped in shadows.
