Paperback: 142 pages

The townsfolk of Babel have a lot to talk about. At Tongues Saloon, rumors, tall tales, family grievances, flirtations, private jokes, and half-truths all collide over the course of one unforgettable Saturday night.
As five couples gather to grieve a lost friend, none of the saloon’s patrons know that death sits among them. In this linked collection of short stories, Kevin John Windorf plays with chronology, overlapping perspectives, and sharply drawn dialogue to reveal the romantic secrets, dangerous mysteries, and sly humor hidden in plain sight.
The Gate
by Kevin John Windorf
Novella / Psychological Suspense
Published by Quindorian Press, 2014.
Paperback: 63 pages
ISBN-13: 978-0692335888
David is eager to bring his wife Marianne and young daughter Emily to a friend’s summer house on an isolated inlet on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. But as the late-night drive stretches on, excitement gives way to anxiety — and then to fear.
Alone on a dark road, responsible for his family’s safety, David begins to wonder whether he is sensing danger or surrendering to paranoia. And when Marianne’s own fears suddenly come to life, Emily is placed in mortal danger.
Mike Jackman of FilmNation Entertainment called The Gate “like a classic Twilight Zone.”

The Serpent Bearer: 13 Stories of Suspense
by Kevin John Windorf
Suspense / Short Story Collection
Published by Quindorian Press, 2018.
Paperback: 153 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1730894114
Inspired by the zodiac constellations, The Serpent Bearer explores the nature of fear through thirteen stories of suspense.
What frightens us most — the brutality of nature, the ruthlessness of other people, the unknown, the nightmares we know too well, death itself, or the emptiness beyond it? Across these stories, characters confront the fears that define them: fatal struggles between man and beast, ill-fated encounters between lovers and strangers, and moments shaped by paranoia, dread, anxiety, grief, and loss.
Every choice draws them further from safety — and deeper into the dark.
