Step into The Wishing Well, where your deepest desires are granted … and your soul is forfeited.

A horrifying collection of interconnected tales, The Wishing Well centers around an ever-shifting, unearthly bar where desires are commodities and the price is everything. Each story follows a different patron, driven by want, ambition, or desperation, who casts a wish into the bar’s namesake.

Join our patrons as they discover this well is less a cheap gimmick and more a dark conduit for twisted fulfillment, revealing the true horror of getting exactly what you wished for.

In this malignant mess of the macabre you’ll:

Meet “The Captive,” a man who’d do anything to escape his past and present. Anything …Join a young student who hopes to find happiness once again with a little help from “The Substitute.”

Take a dip in “The Lake” for rest, relaxation, and a final, permanent reprieve.

From a woman’s late-night visit by “The Creeper” to a child’s Christmas visit by something not quite Santa in “The Unholy,” these nine creepy tales are served neat by newcomer Christopher Ruíz.

What do you desire? The Wishing Well has what you need …

I really enjoyed all these stories in this collection. I was gifted this book from the author on Reddit and said I’d give a review in return. This is a very good set of short stories and I’m looking forward to volume 2!

A very enjoyable collection of stories
