About the author
Michael Alba Colbert is a Technical Writer by day and a lifelong horror fan by night, and the person behind The Next Scare. A lover of all things horror, his love of talking about horror books and movies bled into this passion project- a place to share his thoughts and suggestions with others. This appreciation of the horror content of others eventually led him to pursuing writing horror himself.
A lover of horror fiction since before he could explain why, he spent years collecting the stories knocking around in his head- and Pay Your Dues, his first horror anthology, is where they finally landed. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two kids, where he lurks in the shadows and takes notes on what he finds scary.
Reviews of Pay Your Dues: A Next Scare Collection on Amazon
“This is reminiscent of Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark. The scare factor has a range from creepy to terrifying. If you enjoyed Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark or Goosebumps, this is your next read!”
-Stephanie
“A really fun collection of stories. It felt like I was reading R.L. Stine but for grownups. It's got that mix of darkly funny and eerie ideas. If you liked The Midnight Club, you'll enjoy this. The framing device is also a fun way to tie everything together.”
-Rivallen
“Such a great read. Creepy and fun, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to read more from this author.”
-Keithen
“Wonderful, spooky, will stick with you!”
