The Nightroad, Anthology One

Within the shadows that gather at the edges of the world, the paranormal reigns. The strange, the monstrous, the unimaginable—all these things share one commonality: The Nightroad. Hidden but for the cover of darkness, The Nightroad traverses the spaces between. Lurking at the terminus of dead-ends or along seldom-used roads, the haunted exits of The Nightroad connect to our world in places where things are not what they seem. Who would dare travel along its cursed course? Rest assured, for there are those who do: travelers in the night who brave the dangers to explore this supernatural frontier and others whose purposes are more nefarious. Do you dare experience the madness and horror that brings The Nightroad to our streets? The journey begins within.

JG Benedict is a paranormal fiction author and general essayist. He is a native of Batavia, NY, and a current resident therein. JG graduated from Batavia High School before heading off to college careers at both St. Bonaventure University and SUNY Potsdam. Over the course of his forty-some years, he has lived and traveled throughout the United States; he is something of a Renaissance Man when it comes to his experience and skill set.

Currently, this father of three lives in the heart of the suburban sprawl that is Batavia, still near enough to the swamps and wilderness that give everything around such a strong “Genesee County vibe.” This feeling, the intersection between the modern world and the obstinately still wild, is a strong influence on his work and the fictional New York county of Hueta that serves as a backdrop to many of his stories.

JG’s anthology of short stories, The Nightroad, was released in November of 2024 in both hardcover and paperback. With it comes the beginning of a voyage through the weird world of paranormal fiction, the thrilling end destination shrouded in a mystery only time will tell.
