    About this ebook

    From the editors of One Buck Horror Volume One comes the next installment in this acclaimed horror anthology series. This new volume features five pulse-pounding tales, sure to please hardcore and casual horror fans alike.

    In "What Swims These Waters" by Daniel Ausema, two people are adrift in a small boat in a storm, and something in the water is biting.

    A new way to get high sparks a search for a missing sister, and leads to terrors hidden in the heart of the inner city, in "Holes" by Sean Logan.

    In "Beastie" by David Bischoff, a black cat drags home a town's buried secrets, one wriggling, misshapen piece at a time.

    Adam Howe takes us to an asylum in England where the patients live in fear, and secrets are kept, no matter what the cost, in "3 Monkeys".

    Michael Penkas shows us that the home of a killer might just be the best place for the ghost of a murdered woman to haunt, in "The Afterlife of Ellen Easterling".

      What Swims These Waters

      by Daniel Ausema

      You don't remember the storm. Even I...well, it's easy to forget once the calm intrudes. I will try to remember. For your sake.

      Spray splashed over me, soaking my feet where they anchored me in place. The dip and plunge of the boat pushed the gunwales into my chest. I shifted with the boat, feeling the wood rub the backs of my ankles raw.

      Hold on, I muttered and tried again to pull my arms in. To pull my whole body up and back. It wouldn't budge. Your weight pulled me taut. If you can reach...

      I can't, you said. Your voice was weak, water-weary, but not sad. You were beyond sadness.

      You don't have to. I tried to make my voice strong. The next wave. If it hits us right, I'll pull you in.

      Remember when we first noticed them? We'd been bringing in half-gnawed fish for a few days and mending our nets more often than usual. You thought there was some new kind of fish in the water, and I told you not to be paranoid. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. We stopped swimming, though, and I missed seeing your body cut through the water. I don't think I ever told you that.

      You were quiet, and I tried to time my next pull to match the motion of the waves and boat. I couldn't move you.

      I feel one on my knee, you said. It itches. You sounded curious. The shock and the cold water had probably taken
