Book Cover & Preview Text
As a fan of the mystery/thriller/creature type movies and books, I would like to offer up ten tall tales from the dark side, I call them Cryptures, as told to me by those who lived them. Gather around a campfire and read them to a group of your friends or curl up in bed on a cold rainy evening and be prepared for sleepless nights. Test your ability to shake off the memories of these delicious tales and drift back into a deep sleep, if you can!
However, I recognize that some people have varying degrees of comfortableness with some of my stories and they may be more than you may wish to endure. To that end, I have created an index, what I have dubbed the Scary Story Index or SSI.
SSI-5: Stay away if you have a weak heart, terrifying.
SSI-4: You won’t turn off the lights afterwards, only for the brave.
SSI-3: Will send cold chills up your spine, but you can handle it.
SSI-2: Safe for late teens and adults. It will excite you imagination.
SSI-1: Safe for all! But alas, NONE HERE or they wouldn’t be Cryptures.

About the Book
Reviewed By Sarah Stuart for Readers’ Favorite Cryptures by Jw Grodt is a collection of ten short stories written for fans of the horror genre in all its many guises. Chilling and spine-tingling, these are dark tales of monsters, invaders, and deadly creatures that multiply in any climate on the planet. Clark Mason, diagnosed with terminal cancer, feels free to share the story of gold miner and guardian of a secret, Crazy Pete, with a group of boys eager to listen. Stanley Portchec was an ordinary family man, until he sees an abandoned truck on his way home from work. Abra Scott and fiancé, Jake Barlow, misguidedly decide to spend the night on a forbidden beach. A crew of four sets sail on an innocent exploration of the sea ... and so the reader’s macabre journey goes on. These hugely entertaining tales aren’t merely horror, they are extreme horror. Lengths vary, but I defy any reader to stop before the end of one, or indeed putting the book down half-read, assuming one has the courage and the strong stomach required to embark on reading the stories. Any of Jw Grodt’s longer tales made into a movie would make Final Girl and The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest pale into insignificance. What The Night Brings comes to mind, and very likely will in nightmares tonight. Cryptures is a five-star book: brilliant!
