Guttenberg, NJ – This Summer, The Horror Channel invites you to tune in for some quick horror readings as it presents “Daily Scares,” a collection of one-paragraph stories created by horror writer Jeff Ryan.

“Jeff is a master storyteller, and doesn’t need much time to inject a quick scare into his readers,” said Vini Bancalari, Director, Programming and Production, The Horror Channel.  “These daily stories are just enough to whet the appetites of horror fans, and are sure to keep them coming back for more.”

Each “Daily Scares” story focuses on one character, his/her dealings with a particular situation, and a surprise twist to cap off the brief plot.  Initial titles include “Overturned;” “The Venetian and the Florentine;” “Cumulus;” “Stevie’s Water Gun;” “Potato Eyes;” and “Prissy Slaughter.”
