A slow-mover that builds up to a nightmarish intensity—with payoffs like you won't believe—Book of Shadows tells the story of Kaiti Rogers (along with Lily-the-Cat), the circumstances of her life and how she died. Featured in the long short story "Beyond Death" in the short-story collection "Phantom World," Kaiti will have you on the edge of your seat as she loses her mind; for, when an Apostolic Pentecostal girl turns to witchery, no one is safe and nothing is sacred.
A. R. Braun is the author of the horror novella, 66SICK, and the horror novels, Dogman of Illinois, Heaven's Witches, Autonomy, The Not, and Only Women in Hell, as well as the short-story collections Phantom World, Insanity, and Horrorbook. He became interested in horror when he read “The Telltale Heart” as an assignment in high school. By the time he was eighteen, he had the whole Stephen King collection and started writing short stories for friends and family. His main goal was to put together a heavy metal band, and he spent many years working blue collar jobs and seeking out musicians, but never fell in with the right kind of guys.
He has numerous publication credits, including “NREM Sleep” in the D.O.A. anthology; “Freaks” in Downstate Story magazine; “The Unwanted Visitors” in the Vermin anthology; “Coven” in the Heavy Metal Horror anthology; “Remember Me?” in Horror Bound magazine; “Shades of Gray (the Symbiosis of Light and Dark)” in Micro Horror magazine; and “The Interloper” in the Bonded by Blood 2: a Romance in Red anthology. Weightlifting, mixed martial arts, and audio comedy are a few of his current interests.
