Original Marketing Description
GrimTales’ first full-length short story collection is available. The 3D web book edition is now live at Miskatonic Books!
Step beyond the veil of the ordinary and enter a dreamscape of terror, dark wit, and unsettling revelations. Malice in Slumberland is a chilling collection of tales by W. Adam Mandelbaum that bend reality, twist the familiar, and plunge readers into shadows where nothing is quite what it seems.
From the haunting intimacy of a dying wife’s promise in From the Other Side, to the surreal courtroom of the damned in Mid-Death Crisis, to the nightmarish innocence of a child’s single word in Hi, each story grips with a sinister blend of horror, satire, and the uncanny. Mandelbaum draws on his background as both lawyer and occult investigator to weave narratives that feel disturbingly plausible—stories where death has a voice, objects hum with hidden menace, and the line between waking life and nightmare dissolves without warning.
This special Web Book Edition amplifies the experience with cutting-edge digital presentation. Not only can you flip through its immersive 3D layout, but it also includes a fully embedded audiobook, allowing you to hear the stories performed as you read along. Every tale is accessible anywhere, directly in your browser, with no downloads required—delivering a secure, collectible reading experience that bridges print, sound, and screen.
Perfect for fans of horror, weird fiction, and psychological suspense, Malice in Slumberland takes readers into uncanny territories both familiar and strange—dreams that curdle into nightmares, law twisted into damnation, and innocence corrupted into evil.
Enter Malice in Slumberland and discover why sleep may never again bring you peace.
