Take an eerie journey with these 18 chilling tales ranging from horrors painted in blood from the frightful frontier times to present day terrors.

Praise for Frontiers of Fright

“Frontiers of Fright is a true campfire horror. That howl is more than the wind and the devil not just in the dust. This great collection of creepy tall tales for the change of seasons.” — V. Castro, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Goddess of Filth and The Haunting of Alejandra

“Newcomers and veteran authors come together in Frontiers of Fright: A Weird Western Anthology, edited by A.E. Santana. Weaving tales of outlaws, gunslingers, and more with dark, mysterious twists, I marveled at the imagination and got lost in the Southwestern settings and characters, all of it under a big, endless, ever watching sky.” — John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart

“Wonderfully creepy! These unsettling tales set in the iconic southwest throughout history feature a fascinating range of ferocious creatures—exactly the types of stories I love. You’ll find nightmarish visions haunting these pages in scenes spanning the vast desert, looming wilderness and supernatural unknown.” — KC Grifant, author of Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger and Shrouded Horror: Tales of the Uncanny

“Frontiers of Fright assembles eighteen tales that examine the brutality and beauty of the Southwest. These barren landscapes, cavernous mines, and craggy mountains house heroes, villains, and creatures both new and ancient. Threaded throughout is a ravenous hunger demanding to feast until only sun-bleached bones remain.” — Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot
