How dangerous is it being a Park Ranger? In peaceful parks where sunshine reigns, not very. However, there are places where unknown things roam loose, and hunters become prey. These stories come from such places. Once you step inside this dark world there’s no going back.
These eleven stories from Nosleep delve into the darker side of being a park ranger. Where Cryptids are more than just legend. They stalk the land at will. Would you have the courage to pursue them?
Prepare to have your mind ensnared with the possibility of what’s real and what isn’t. You may even ask, ‘Are these stories true?’
That’s for you to decide.

About the author

Step right up and take a look at these fine attractions.
For my latest offering, I present, 'Misadventures of a Cryptid Hunter'. A tale full of adventure, dark humor, and more cryptids than you can shake a stick at. Here are a few things readers are saying about the book.
"What an amazing story!"
"Good dose of comedy along with some scary close calls."
"This was an unexpected gem."
"On its own, it stands as an instant classic."
"5 minutes in and I’m laughing my butt off."
"I REALLY REALLY HOPE this is the first part of a series!"
"My god this story was so beautifully descriptive and interesting the entire way through!"
"I always love cryptid hunter stories, but this one was incredibly hilarious."
"This should be made into A MOVIE!!!"
"The humor is on another level."
"This was a fantastically written story."
For the latest short horror stories, I recommend 'Dark Tales of Cryptids and Park Rangers', along with its sequel, 'More Dark Tales of Cryptids and Park rangers'. Both are collections of short stories that were quite popular on Reddit and Youtube as well. With famous creepypasta narrators like Mrcreeps, Lighthousehorror, and Swampdweller, among others making videos of my stories that have been viewed over 5 million times in the last two years.
If you're in the mood for a mystery, then my upcoming novel, 'Identity' should fit the bill. As a bonus, if you've already read my first crime novel, 'One on One', Identity is the sequel.
If you're looking for an amazing collection of flash fiction horror stories each told in 500 words or less, then look no further than the original, the one that started it all, 'Fragments of Fear'. Yes, that's right folks, everything from a haunted mansion to a mysterious song sung in a dark forest, to a story told in reverse, all this plus 17 more stories waiting to tantalize and terrify you.
As we move on down to the next attraction we come to, 'Fragments of Fear 2'. This horror collection is also not for the faint of heart. These stories are a little longer to give them more room to breathe. They include an award winner and my first multi-chaptered short story with an outtake reel at the end. In between are some controversial stories that may make you mad but they'll also make you think.
Heading to our next attraction, we have, 'Fragments of Fear 3'. This third installment is the biggest and baddest of the series so far. It starts with a serial killer and ends with another award winner. In between you'll witness an interview by a sadistic doctor, a viral outbreak, a living pumpkin, the birth of an unlikely superhero, another story told in reverse, and much more.
If you're hungry we can slide on by Mr. Smiley's in, 'Fragments of Fear 4'. Mr. Smiley is always dying to see his guests happy. Just pull up a chair and he'll be happy to regal you with a tale or two. But beware, his stories might scare you to death. Just be sure the chair he offers you isn't plugged in.
If you make it out of Mr. Smiley's maybe you should check out, 'Fragments of Fear 5'. This latest edition in the series has two very different stories about the coronavirus outbreak. If those suit your taste, you may also like the tales about freezing to death, a mysterious sound, a deadly phone call, a possessed shadow, an assassin, a tale told from a zombie's point of view, and much more, including a story where you pick your favorite ending.
And if you liked the themes in Fragments 5, 'Fragments of Fear 6' should trip your trigger.
If you liked 'Dark Tales of Cryptids and Park Rangers' then check out my upcoming release, 'Dark Tales of Cryptids and Truck Drivers'.
If short horror isn't your thing, then try my first crime fiction novel, 'One on One'. If you've ever believed the system was too easy on criminals and victims should have the right to deal out punishment, then this book is for you. When a young boy has his father brutally taken from him, he starts down a long road that could lead him to redemption, or revenge. Choices are the main theme in this novel. Will he find his father's killer? What will he do if he does? Will he make the right choice?
After that, make sure you read the sequel, 'Identity (a one on one novel)'.
If you're looking for the kiddie rides, I have just the thing as well. My first Young Adult novel, 'Endzone', is about a young boy who loves football. When he is befriended by a professional football player, his football dreams come true. But when the player gets injured he musters the courage to stand up to the commissioner of the Professional Football Association to help his friend. Will his courage be enough to get the help his friends needs, or is there something else the commissioner is trying to protect? For those who love football but hate what it's become.
And what's Halloween without toilet paper, corn, eggs, and a good old fashioned scary story. In my short story, 'Just Desserts', you get all of those rolled into one. As young Johnny and his friends soon find out, some people are best left alone.
If it's suspense you seek, try my novelette, 'The Mall'. When Todd and his friends plan a fun night in an empty mall, they had no idea what they were in for. What happens when a simple game turns from fun to dangerous to deadly?
If you like video games, you can beta test, 'Playback'. My short mystery where a video game provides the clues to a murder and possibly more.
If zombies are your thing, then shuffle over to, 'Dear John, a letter to the undead'. My short story about the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.
For an old fashioned parable type story, 'Golden Tongue is your thing. When a young man receives an incredible gift will he share it with others, or will greed consume him?
As for me, I'm merely your humble guide here to show you my wares.
I live in a small town in Pennsylvania. I'm a former Corrections Officer turned Author. I rely on good people like you to help me fulfill my dream of quitting my day job and becoming a full-time author.
If you do purchase and read any of my work, I thank you in advance and also ask that you post a review. It doesn't have to be much, just a few sentences telling what you thought about the book, and it will help me immensely.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024This was awesome! I thought I heard “it all” as the saying goes and I used to ride my horse all over unmarked trails and I’d never be afraid, ( referencing the last story) I don’t think I’ll ever go into the woods again!! All the other stories were also very good as well! Wow!! Highly
recommend anyone who doesn’t believe in “cryptids” to read this. I’m a believer now!!!!
UPDATE: The second book I realized was BS. It was clearly all untrue and the writer said his grandfather turned into a wolf and the writer also said he turned into some type of cryptid. I was EXTREMELY disappointed and felt like o should have known better than to entertain his writing because he made a statement in the beginning it maybe true or not. It should not have been in the non fiction section. I will not read anything else by this writer.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024It was entertaining. Some of the stories were predictable and there was too much info dumping. Less is more. I will read the other stories in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024Fun spooky stories that make for an enjoyable read. You feel like the stories could have happened. I’ll remember these stories next time I’m camping.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023There are some good stories in this book, more creepy than scary. I gave it a 3 because the last story had some words missing from sentences and that really annoys me. Other than that, it's an ok read.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024Not real life stories, just Reddit type stuff, but still well written and straight to point. Took a star away because it could use a good editor and better story breaks, but I still recommend it to anyone wanting some great short scary reads.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023I hope the author reads this review. The stories were fun, creative and interesting. I'd have liked a bit more diversity in monsters and felt perhaps Bigfoot was a bit over used, but still completely enjoyable! The one real criticism I have is that the author begins sentences with "I" as in "I did" or "I had" sort of thing extremely too often, whole paragraphs that begin every sentence that way. Something to be mindful of.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024Very enjoyable reading! All the stories are great. Especially the middle one, and the last one. I am getting the next book now!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024The stories in this collection felt authentic and were varied by experience, length, and type of park rangers, which kept things fresh and interesting. If any criticism, it would be that editors need to try harder catching the annoying errors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Meh.
Da hat jemand die "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service" Stories auf dem /r/NoSleep Subreddit gelesen, sich gedacht dass man mit sowas ja eigentlich Geld auf Amazon verdienen könnte... und dann dieses Buch geschrieben.
Mega langweilige Kurzgeschichten, Rechtschreibfehler und teilweise sehr seltsamer Satzbau. Nach den ersten beiden Stories kann man eigentlich aufhören. In der vierten oder so ging es schon zum zweiten mal um Bigfoot - cringe.
Wie das Ding 316 Bewertungen mit 'nem 4.1 Rating haben kann ist mir absolut schleierhaft. Ein paar Leute schreiben hier sogar dass sie gedacht hätten dass das reale Geschichten sind, lmao. Alles klar.
Wer bei Horrorstories sehr sehr niedrige Ansprüche hat kann hier wahrscheinlich schon zugreifen, vor allem bei dem Preis. Ich hab's zurückgegeben. Lieber die Originale auf Reddit lesen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn’t realise it was fictional
From the cover I thought the book was non-fiction, but looking back on the description it does say fiction.my fault.
