Katie’s Stories: Pocket Full of Posies Shadow Children: Featuring my short story – Up the Mountainside

My short story Up the Mountainside has been published in Pocket Full of Posies!

Pocket full of posies is a haunting trilogy of horror anthologies that peer into the shadows where innocence ends… reminding us that the popular nursery rhyme has always been a dirge. From cursed cradles to haunted tombs, these stories and the shadow children within whisper lullabies of grief, vengeance and decay.

The trilogy is made up of The Silent Cradle, Shadow Children and Paper Tombs!

Up the Mountainside is in Shadow Children.

The phone should be dead. The calls should be impossible. But every night, a child’s broken voice whispers “Mama…” until she can’t take it anymore. Drawn back to the burned-out cabin where her life with Jeff unraveled, she digs into the soil of their past—and unearths a truth more horrifying than any haunting. Some secrets don’t stay buried.
