This collection of fifteen short stories and four essays pays homage to the powerful and influential voices in horror from the past 50 years.

In “Traditions Lost”, Halloween will never be the same for a small town after The Bad Man pays a visit. Serial killers torment a successful writer in the twisted tale “The Killers Never Leave Us.”

With “Marisa’s Curse”, a cursed golf hole unleashes unfathomable evil onto an elderly couple’s lives. “This is My Beach; This is Your Darkness” delivers an unforgettable tale of regret and what we all might owe for our past shortcomings.

In “The Dog Creek Coven”, fellow beastly writer Andy Rausch teams up with Clark Roberts and delivers a knock-out blow in a story about witches, werewolves, and a tenacious hitman.

Lean close to the firelight, and listen as the newest beast unleashes its tales.

“Whether you are an avid fan of the genre or one who reads it every so often, this is a collection you should pick up. Just know you won't be putting it down until you reach the last page.” - J. M. Van Horn, Editor, The Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers

Praise for Led by Beasts Volume 1
PRAISE FOR LED BY BEASTS VOLUME 1 “Think young Stephen King. That's the closest thing I can compare the short stories in this book to… There are moments in these stories where you think, 'holy crap, I can't believe this story went here!' And even when they are insanely fantastical, Roberts pulls it off with terrific, engaging writing that keeps you hooked from the start.” ANDY RAUSCH, AUTHOR, THE SUICIDE GAME, LET IT KILL YOU, AND UNTIL ONE OF US IS DEAD “LED BY BEASTS by Clark Roberts is an assortment of horrifying bits and pieces, many featuring children as the terrifying force behind the beasts. “Costumes” is one of the best stories I've ever read… All of the stories are intriguing, some are terrifying, some are heart-breaking…” ASTRADAEMON, VINE VOICE BOOK REVIEWER “This collection is elegantly framed, and every story delivers a nice solid punch. Roberts knows his influences well and honors them well with this book. Even so, you can clearly hear his voice throughout, and that voice is smooth and direct, playful at times and perpetually heartfelt.” BRAIN SPERL, AUTHOR, FERTILE SOIL AND THE ROAD TO HELL “Whether you are an avid fan of the genre or one who reads it every so often, this is a collection you should pick up. Just know you won't be putting it down until you reach the last page.” ~ J. M. Van Horn, Editor and active member of The Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers
