Departures - Available now!

Itching for some new short fiction? Surprise! My new book, Departures, is out now! This new collection features ten strange stories, seven of which have never been previously published.


A new homeowner finds a large, inexplicable egg behind a door...

A traveler seeks a bizarre creature from folklore...

An abused spouse takes matters into their own hands...

A stranger tempts passersby with a mystery in the trunk of his car...

A man discovers a cemetery walled off from the rest of town...

A family finds out what the vacation of a lifetime really entails...

And a sleep aid wakes up.


These are just some of the strange tales within, as Scott Cole returns with a new collection featuring his unique brand of unusual horror stories.


Still on the fence? Check out this blurb that just arrived:

“No other living author writes the uncanny and the weird as compellingly as Scott Cole. His new collection, Departures, is a deftly written tightrope act balancing between moments of quiet gentleness and the chillingly absurd.”

— Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes


Departures is available in paperback and ebook.
