From the Description
It's nearly midnight, and a curious snoop finds his neighbors dead. He gathers his wits and calls emergency services. Despite a torrential thunderstorm, Sheriff's deputies, the Fire Department, and an ambulance all respond quickly.
But there's little they can do. The victims are not only dead, they are long dead. The snoop invites the emergency workers into his garage, out of the rain, to await the arrival of the coroner and, thereafter, the funeral home staff who will take his neighbors away.
The lightning flashes. The thunder rolls. The setting inspires the police, firefighters, and paramedics to pass the time by telling stories, both thrilling and chilling... and you are invited to join them.
Award-winning horror writer Doug Lamoreux spins seven eerie tales of terror into one bewitching brew. To borrow from the traditional Scottish poem: 'From ghoulies and ghosties, And long-leggedy beasties, And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us!'

I received a copy of this book from the author for review purposes. This is in no way reflected in my opinion of this novella. I did not receive any form of compensation for my review.
Reading Seven For The Slab is like sitting around a campfire telling spooky stories, the only thing missing is the S'mores. Some of the stories are filled with creatures from our nightmares and some feature a more human villain, all of them will send shivers of fear up your spine. Reminiscent of Tales From The Crypt and Creepshow this novella has an old school horror vibe that I love. A fast and fun 5 star read that's perfect for Halloween! Highly recommended!!
