Horror writer Paul Levas is one to keep an eye on.  One thing I really like about his short stories is the reader can decide what the villain, who provides the horror, really is.  A piece of Levas' short fiction is not a "monster story" in a traditional sense.  The "monster" is never really fully described, so the reader can take what description there is and build on it.  So I can read a story like "The Shed" several different ways, depending on what I think the "monster" really is at that time.  It's fun!"Shadows" is a story about a man being chased.  It's a common fear, and it's even worse if you don't know what is chasing you, or you don't know you are being chased at all!  The man will make a fine meal if he can be caught.  But can a shadow really catch you?  Or can you ever escape your shadow?  We'll find out before this satisfying little story is over."The Shed" is the story of a man cleaning out a backyard shed.  The shed is full of articles and memories of the man's dead young son.  As he continues to clean the memories become more real and current.  The man wishes he could see his son just one last time.  But is this really such a good idea?  The man has fond memories of his deceased son.  But is he really ready to know how his son remembers him?Both stories are well worth the read.  One thing I would like to see is a collection of Levas stories. When I finish one of them I immediately want to read another!  A book of them would be greatly appreciated.
