Life as we know it may seem safe, with all events explainable in a calm, rational manner. That is, until one wanders out at night, under a full moon, near the Tremor Tree. The Tremor Tree, Volume 1 is a collection of three horror tales: Zombie Hayride, Bright Eyes and Border Werewolf. Each is written with the intent of prompting the reader to make certain that the doors are locked and the smartphone is charged. A high school hayride is detoured on Halloween by a zombie attack. A group of freshmen must rely on their creature feature knowledge in their fight for their lives and those of their friends in Zombie Hayride. An urban legend about a UFO prompts further investigation by two, very curious, 12-year-old boys during an overnight campout. The adolescents quickly discover that an alien takeover is absorbing the human population in Bright Eyes. Finally, an El Paso teen with a part-time job at the city library is harassed by school bullies. Seeking revenge, the boy intends to transform himself into a flesh-eating lycanthrope with help from a curandero. His plan backfires and uncontrollable bloodshed by an unexpected lycan ensues in Border Werewolf. It’s okay to look over your shoulder in fear when you feel you’re being followed. That frightening sound you heard may be more than just the wind blowing the leaves around. Author W. P.
