Beach Bodies
A Horror Anthology, with N. A. Battaglia’s story “The Cedar Haven Sun Werewolf”
Discover the horror of this beach murder mystery.
DarkLit Press is back with another anthology of beach horror by authors from around the world. In this anthology, N. A. Battaglia’s story, “The Cedar Haven Sun Werewolf” is included and is one of his favorite horror stories that, in the future, he hopes to turn into a full-length novel.
More about the anthology: A family’s vacation is cut short when the dead begin to rise. A strange hotel will do anything to keep its guests from leaving. A series of murders leads a local reporter on the hunt for a werewolf. A distraught man discovers he’s on a vacation from hell. Friends on vacation come face to face with an ancient curse.
Beach vacations are meant for relaxing and unwinding away from the drudgery of normal life. The sparkling sun, shimmering on cresting waves. A light breeze as you sit with toes in the sand, a cold drink in one hand. Utopia on an island. But what happens when that paradise suddenly becomes a purgatory of pain?
What will you do when the beaches fill with bodies and the waters run red with blood? When creatures crawl the coastline and the jungle teems with terror. How will you survive when a tropical respite becomes an arena of peril?
Beach Bodies features sixteen terrifying tales of beach vacation horror. For even more scares, check out the companion anthology Slice of Paradise out now from DarkLit Press.
This anthology includes stories by Scott Cole, Jay Alexander, Kelly Brocklehurst, Damien Casey, Leeroy Cross James, Max Christmas, Ronaldo Katwaroo, N. A. Battaglia, Fox Claret Hill, Nat Whiston, Chelsea Paravel, Wendy Dalrymple, John Durgin, Jena Brown, Danielle Ramaekers, and Julie Sevens.

Praise for beach bodies
5 OUT OF 5 – “Beach Bodies is another collection of horror short stories by DarkLit Press. There must have been so many good submissions for the beach/vacation themed call that it had to be broken up into two volumes.
After reading Beach Bodies, it’s easy to see why that call was made. There were so many great stories in this one as well.
From Zombies, to werewolves, to couples trapped in a private getaway turned to a free-for-all battle royale.” — AMAZON REVIEWER
“The Cedar Haven Sun Werewolf by N.A. Battaglia: I could see how things would turn out once I’d got a little way into the story, but go Jenny!” — AMAZON REVIEWER
4 OUT OF 5 – “The Cedar Haven Sun Werewolf’ by N.A. Battaglia offers a delightfully fun detective story that transposes a classic Universal monster to gorgeous island territory and conjures Kolchak, the Night Stalker vibes with its cryptid-chasing reporter leads.” — GOOD READS REVIEWER
5 OUT OF 5 – “This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can’t wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.” — AMAZON REVIEWER
