Daymares is a collection of seven disturbing little tales of terror by Kenya Moss-Dyme: In Baby Mine, a woman faces the ultimate 'morning-after' following a lust-filled night with a brutish former lover; A landlord rules his apartment building with sharp precision in 1st of the Month; Junebug/The Flat Earth tells the story of a little boy who refuses to lie down and play nice with his tormented stepmother; Ride takes you on a 911 call when a cop with a secret meets his karma in the cornfields; A grieving widower mourns the loss of his selfish and controlling better half in Her Things; An innocent game of Tag takes a frightening turn when the little ones hang out at the Playground; and, A Colder Kind of Hell brings us the story of a crafty defense lawyer who is so good at his job that all hell breaks loose. As a child, I realized that my entertainment choices leaned more toward ghosts and goblins than princesses and fairy godmothers. My favorite authors were Stephen King and Jack Ketchum, as I wasn't aware of any bIack women - or black men - who wrote horror, so I began writing short-form horror in my teens. I didn't release my first book until many decades later, thanks to the advances of self-publishing. Although I may occasionally drop a work of romance, my real passion is weaving stories about monsters – both the kind that come from the pits of hell or the kind that may live right next door.
