Because Beltane celebrations rarely made the news and when they did, it was with an uncomfortable communistic association, it has faded into the background and been largely forgotten. Until now. We at Hellfire Publishing propose to bring back Beltane in all its dark wonder, in this, our first anthology. You'll read terrifying tales of the holiday-and not just the way Americans celebrate it. Eerie Beltane customs from the world over are submitted here, as Mr. Rod Serling used to say, "...for your approval." What we want to know is... Can you approve of something while hiding under the covers? What was that noise? Is the house settling or was that a footstep? And who's that knocking at the door...at three in the morning? Listen, listen...was that the window sliding slowly upward in the spare room? The answers to these questions and many more may be discovered in this anthology...but a word of caution... Don't ask a question that you really don't want the answer to. A portion of publisher proceeds from the sale of this E-anthology will go to the benefit of...St Jude Children's Research HospitalSome of the authors have opted to donate their shares as well to this more than worthy cause.
