Learn more"El Charro" is a short horror story by award-winning author John Langan, one of 35 entries in the audio anthology Come Join Us by the Fire.
A man wakes up in a cell with his badly-beaten friend. And something else. Something hungry.
Come Join Us by the Fire, edited by Theresa DeLucci, is an audio-only horror anthology of 35 short stories from Nightfire Books, a horror imprint of Tor Books. The collection showcases the breadth of talent writing in the horror genre today, with contributions from a wide range of bestselling genre luminaries including China Miéville, Chuck Wendig, Richard Kadrey, and Victor LaValle; Shirley Jackson Award winners Paul Tremblay, Priya Sharma, and Sam J. Miller; Nebula Award winners Brooke Bolander, Alyssa Wong, Kij Johnson; and many, many more.
John Langan is the author of the novels The Fisherman and House of Windows, and two collections of stories. The Fisherman won the Bram Stoker and This Is Horror Awards for superior achievement in a novel in 2016. Langan is one of the founders of the Shirley Jackson Awards, for which he served as a juror during its first three years. Currently, he reviews horror and dark fantasy for Locus magazine. He lives in New York's Hudson Valley with his wife, younger son, and many, many animals.
