They Come When They Are Called: Supernatural Stories (The Horror Persists) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 104 ratings

Demons are like obedient dogs; they come when they are called.

Join Jackson Arthur in calling out the strange, unnerving, and terrifying in these and other haunting tales…

During a power outage, phantoms from the past return to carry out primitive vendettas. When a lonely boy loses his new best friend, fear and anguish pierce the veil between life and death. A bad trip results in a visit by not-so-funny clowns. Can a mourning father save his lost boy at a deserted cabin in the woods?

“Creepy. A good, quick read.”—Anthony Castellino, author of
The Feast of All Saints

“Reminded me of
Twilight Zone and kept me wanting more.”—H.G. Ahedi, author of The Fall of Titan

    It took me two sessions to read this book. And of course I was in my special place for reading this type of book. Turn on tv low, turn lights off, sitting in bedroom while the kits make strange noises in the other room adding to the atmosphere of each story. Well written. Thank you for writing. I ll look for more of your work.

    They Come When They Are Called: Supernatural Stories by Jackson Arthur
    Genre: Short Stories, Horror
    Triggers: Scenes of Violence, Abuse, Death, Depiction of Sexual Assault
    5/5

    Jackson Arthur’s short stories keep the pages turning. Each story is unique in its own way while keeping to the horror theme. Each short story has diverse characters and its own separate world.

    “Collecting Soul Mates”, a dark tale about two lovers and “Children in the Woods”, a tale about a father trying to save a young boy, were my two favorite short stories. While it was honesty hard to even pick just two as they were all well written.

    Overall a quick read that keeps the reader enticed, invested and pacing through the book. Definitely recommend for all those readers who like a quick little horror read.

    History can either be learned from or repeated in “Witch Elm.” Nothing can come between a boy and his dog. These are just a few of the stories you will find in this unique collection.

    Interesting and twisted stories with a blend of fantasy and horror.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quite a collection
    Reviewed in Australia on December 2, 2021
    This is the third set of horror short stories I have read written by this author! In this one he combines romance, mystery and horror and keeps the reader engaged. My favourites are the soul collector and children in the woods. Remind me the episodes of Twilight zone and kept me wanting more.

    A nicely written multiple collection of horror stories that must be read!
