Eric Butler is an indie horror writer who lives deep in the heart of Texas. When he's not writing novels and stories for anthologies, he's doing the bidding of two adorable huskies. He's been married for over twenty years and has a teenager in the house, so he won't be running out of horror material for quite some time.
There’s a place in Texas the locals avoid, where the lost go missing and the damned reside. You won’t find it on any map, there are no road signs to guide you, and if you have the misfortune of finding it, may God have mercy on your soul. Run, run as far as you can, for when The Scarecrow wakes, the harvest of blood begins.
Welcome to Donn, TX - Gateway to Hell.
Volume 1 contains the following ebooks: 1952 - On the back roads of Texas, Debbie grows ill and her husband, Jerry, stops at the only motel they’ve seen for miles. He hopes a little rest will help calm her stomach, but in Donn, TX, there can be no rest once the harvest begins.
1969 - Frank is back from Vietnam but struggling to reconnect with the world he once knew. Jane is convinced a road trip to Houston will help them both find the connection they are missing. First, they need to drop off her younger sister and her best friend at the university, and then the honeymoon the war put on hold can finally begin.
Except now they are lost on the back roads, and each mile brings them closer to Donn. If only they hadn’t exited the highway …
But now it’s too late; for the harvest is nearing its end, and the scarecrow requires its due.
1865 -For Eli Larkin, the war is over. There is nothing left but to return home to his wife and children. As he draws nearer, he is pulled to the cornfield to discover a horrifying truth.
The carnage he witnessed in the war is nothing compared to the savage road of slaughter he soon will traverse; for Donn, TX needs its caretaker, and it requires it to be born in butchery.
1926 - The town of Donn, TX holds a dark secret. A secret Sheriff Charles Pike must navigate to keep the citizens, and most importantly, those he loves safe. As the town grows, Pike realizes prying eyes are taking interest in the strange activities surrounding Donn, TX.
In the end, it doesn’t matter. The citizens have long given up on the notions of right and wrong. Deals have been made, and promises must be kept. For in the end, there is only the harvest.

And this year she’s serving up a heaping dish of Old Testament justice that will give the McIntyre family a long overdue wake up call.

Ryder Kinlay
Ryder Kinlay hails from the capital of Australia's Outback, Darwin. It’s a small town with no running water, and they listen to the wireless each Friday for entertainment. Kinlay rides a kangaroo to work, enjoys wrestling with her pet crocodile and playing with her dingo. She’s often out hunting buffalo and feral pigs while swigging moonshine. And sometimes she writes. Her debut REHAB made a splash… in her backyard pool. It’s a mish-mash of genres: romance, splatterpunk, drama, and paranormal. It has been called a slow burn that is as extreme as you can get …. in parts and may break your heart. Kinlay is currently working on a series of extreme shorts: David Longbottom’s MisAdventures. It’s about a rich Australian tosser who enjoys a bit of blood and guts for light entertainment. Bloodymoon (the first) was so well-received that Mr Longbottom nagged Ms Kinlay to make him a star in his own mind. This is not an Exit (the second) will be available from 13 September, with the third Dia de la Death set for 24 October as part of the Godless Horrors Halloween special. She expects to release two novels within the next 12 months: TEGUZ, an extreme horror set in Honduras, and Robbie, the sequel to REHAB. You can catch her in her spare time on social media. Approach her. She won’t bite…well…not hard anyway. Facebook: Ryder Kinlay Instagram: ryderkinlay Twitter: @KinlayRyder Tik Tok: Ryder Kinlay
David Longbottom is seriously pissed off. His cock is pining for the old days and gone walkabout. Also, the pandemic is fucking with his privileged life. What new depravity will give this tosser his ‘happy ending’? This is not an EXIT is the second story of the David Longbottom MisAdventures.
Rayne Havok
Rayne has the attention span of a goldfish so she tends to write shorter stories. Full of gory and gross thoughts that need to be put to paper, she writes all the time to clear space for the new stuff. She is a huge fan of horror and loves to be shocked by all things 'extreme'. She's all about the bloody and gruesome, but also loves sprinkling it with taboo and gratuitous sex. She is a little psychotic and a little sweet, lives in Phoenix Arizona- but doesn't get out much for fear of melting to death in the desert heat. She loves hearing what you think, so leave a review!
Sadie is tempted by a body in the funeral home. She can't help herself, her curiosity is too strong. The depraved and obscene thoughts won't disappear, and with nothing holding her back, she succumbs to her sick desires.
