Showing Hatchlings by Jack LaFountain

This collection of sleep-with-the-lights-on short stories is Creep Show with a rodeo belt buckle. Take a walk with the shotgun toting ghosts; vampire television hosts; and grave robbing angels which slithered from the imagination of Jack LaFountain.
Join the terrorized residents of Missouri Flat on the Great Wolfbat Hunt of ’53. Ride into Perdition with Will Bannister or visit the old VA Hospital with Bill Hart. There’s nothing to it---getting out again is the real trick. Get caught up in a delicious romance with bayou queen, Marie Theridide.
If you like horror without being shocked by the language, this book is for you. Jack’s stories Last Christmas and Home For Christmas were consecutive winners in Spinetingler’s Annual Christmas Ghost Story Competition.
“This has been a great addition to our high school library. I especially like being able to offer a book of this genre without the usual language and other issues…I will be watching for more from this author to add to our collection!”
