Blood Rites and Other Nightmares

NOW AVAILABLE

The city remembers.

Forgotten spirits stir beneath Pittsburgh’s three rivers. Empty inclines carry unseen passengers through the night. Old men with shaking hands whisper tales no one believes.

This new horror collection gathers chilling tales rooted in the neighborhoods, history, and hidden corners of the Steel City. From ancient evils existing beneath Troy Hill from time immemorial to ghosts that linger along the Monongahela, from strange disappearances at the shuttered Dixmont State Hospital to nightmares born in the shadows of crumbling mills, each story reveals a different face of Pittsburgh—one that exists just beyond the edge of ordinary life.

Some horrors wear familiar faces. Others have been here longer than the city itself.

Lock your doors. Avoid the rivers after dark. And if you hear footsteps echoing through an empty tunnel, don’t look back.
Welcome to Pittsburgh.

You’ll never see it the same way again.
