Buried Tales of Pinebox, TX
Welcome to Pinebox, a sleepy little East Texas town with more than its share of trouble. Whether it’s the snake cultists running the local bar or vengeful spirits haunting the high school boys locker room, there always seems to be some sort of trouble brewing just below the surface. Join us for a dozen tales of horror from these haunting voices in fiction.
Monica was asked to write a short story for this new horror collection from game publisher, 12 to Midnight. Her tale is about one of the many creatures you’ll find in the town of Pinebox, Texas, where things are not always what they seem. BURIED TALES OF PINEBOX, TEXAS includes stories from David Wellington, Jess Hartley, Shane Hensley, Derek Gunn and more.

Tales of the Seven Dogs

Written in the first person, TWIN DESIGNS is a tale of psychic, twin brothers named Ralph and Edgar Whitman who explore the paranormal. Both twins have a psychic ability known as “Presque Vu,” which enables them to “see” whether or not an event is part of the grand design.
Ralph is more sensitive than his twin brother Edgar, and he struggles with his ability because it is not an exact science. Edgar, on the other hand, is more pragmatic and skeptical. Together they explore crop circles, ghosts and the mansion called Hepta Sophistai under the leadership of Terrance Chastain.
The book TALES OF THE SEVEN DOGS is comprised of three novellas written by Monica Valentinelli, Jim Johnson, and Matt M McElroy.
Tales of the Seven Dogs Society is available at Indie Press Revolution and DriveThruFantasy.com.
