Keith M. Leonard
Keith M. Leonard is a fiction writer who explores new worlds through stories. He is also the creator and host of the Brewing Fiction Podcast. He was born in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and now lives in Saskatchewan, Canada with his wife, three grown children, and three cats. His love for suspense and horror is evident in his stories, which often have dark undertones. While he enjoys writing about traditional monsters and the supernatural, he finds the cruelty and horror inherent in humanity far more terrifying.

The Librarian
A quiet, unassuming library harbours a dark secret. When a class of unsuspecting students arrives for a field trip, a mysterious, elderly librarian assigns them each a book that seems eerily personal. As the children dive into their chosen stories, they stumble into a terrifying world of magic and peril. Meanwhile, their parents watch in horror as the children slip into inexplicable comas. With every page turned, a sinister force awakens, dragging the young readers into a harrowing adventure beyond their wildest dreams.
Buried Alive
In the coastal town of Dawn's Crossing, people are dying. However, their corpses remain unburied. Instead, their graves are being filled with bodies of the living. Local coroner, Trey Clouston, has a morbid fascination; he prey's on other's worst nightmare of being buried alive.
Can authorities find the truth before it's too late? Or will Trey bury his secret with the bodies of those who are trying stop him?
