Wrong place, wrong time.

Eighteen voices share their harrowing encounters with the uncanny, the grotesque, and the utterly inexplicable.

Stories of old gods and new nightmares, of the evil men do, and of the terrors lingering in the dark. A young woman's horrifying discovery in her roommate, a family's legacy of guarding a monstrous secret, a man's desperate flight from a ravenous beast—each story is a descent into fear, madness, and the realization that the world is far more terrifying than we ever imagined.

Journey into the darkness, but remember, these witnesses carry a burden you may not want to share.

LOOK INSIDE

The Unlucky

The Scarlet Want

Alphonse Schaller was born in Southern California and raised in a house with a bookshelf in every room. A regular visitor to libraries, he fell in love with the horror and dread of H.P. Lovecraft and Jorge Luis Borges, as well as the sweeping fantasies of Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. He started writing in the third grade and has much improved since. Zone Rouge is his first collection of short stories. He is also known as Rowan Cullen.

"Schaller’s skillful pacing and his ability to subvert expectations are excellent, making this a solid collection for those who enjoy stories that unnerve in fresh and unique ways, leaving us to ponder their implications long after we've finished. Very highly recommended."

"...will leave even the most stalwart horror fans sleeping with the lights on. There’s a charm and confidence to the narrative style that lulls you into a false sense of security."

Horror That Creeps In and Refuses to Leave

Closing Zone Rouge felt like waking up from a fever dream you weren't entirely sure was just a dream. Alphonse Schaller doesn’t just scare you; he introduces these things – creatures with lamprey teeth, parasitic vampires (yep, you read that right), folks losing their minds and memories stuck in suffocating darkness – that feel profoundly off, like reality sprung a leak somewhere and something truly bizarre slithered through. It’s not always loud horror; often it’s this quiet, creeping dread, the kind you get reading about occult principles like NORTH that hint at forces we absolutely should not mess with, or realizing someone's heart could literally be held hostage outside their body (that Amy story? Let's just say it gave me the heebie-jeebies). These tales burrow under your skin, leaving you feeling a bit shaky and maybe side-eyeing shadows, questioning the edges of what's real. If you enjoy horror that unsettles you on a fundamental level, plays with cosmic dread, and isn't afraid to get visceral in ways that linger long after the last page, this collection is definitely for you.

Highly Recommend

Zone Rouge delivers exactly what a good horror anthology should. The stories are short enough to read in one sitting but stick with you long after. Some are weird, some are in your face about it, and a few just gave me that slow building dread I love in horror. If you are into unsettling tales with a wide range of styles and themes, this book nails it.

Wonderful Collection

I was pleasantly surprised with this work. If you are a fan of things like the ABC's of Death, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, or even The Twilight Zone, this book is a must have for your collection. Each story is concise and well written.

Thrilling

A spine-chilling collection that grips from the first page. Each story offers a unique nightmare, rich in atmosphere and psychological terror. Perfect for fans of Lovecraftian horror and modern dark fiction. Disturbing, well-written, and unforgettable—you’ll think twice before turning off the lights.

Perfect for horror fans who love a good scare

Zone Rouge is one of those rare horror collections that actually gets under your skin and stays there. Each of the eighteen stories feels like stepping into a different nightmare, some slow and chilling, others sharp and shocking. Alphonse Schaller does an amazing job mixing ancient fears with modern creepiness, and even though the stories are short, they leave a lasting impression. I loved the variety—you never quite know what’s coming next.Whether you’re into eerie atmospheres or flat-out disturbing twists, this book has something to keep you up at night. Horror fans will have an absolute blast with it.
