From the author of Fleshbags and The Ghost Toucher comes nine tales to scare, tantalize, puzzle, and make you laugh. Through different times and realities, see how the people change within the same four walls.

Helena is a widow, recently remarried. But the accidental death of her first husband never set right with her self-described "parapsychic" ability. When residents begin reporting a sea monster around Red Deer Lake, the authorities ignore them. Though they can't ignore people dying in a town that hasn't had a suspicious death in over 30 years, no one except Helena makes a connection between the sea monster and the deaths. And she suspects this all ties into her first husband's disappearance.

Two friends who have drifted apart go on an unintended journey when they take a drug that technically turns them into zombies for 72 hours. But near immortal cultists intent on journeying to the other side will stop at nothing to get the "Bloom" back, even if it means taking it from their undead bodies. As the two men run for their unlives, they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

Gerald Parsons is on his way up. He's a talented executive in line for a major promotion and married to a beautiful woman. But a chance encounter that may not be coincidence with a stranger who claims to know him begins to unravel his happy life. After a coworker is killed and another has his career sabotaged, the stranger shows up at his home, ready to party with his own special news, leaving Gerald to ponder if he is next.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. That noise in the dead of night. The shadow that slips by almost unnoticed. The fear that pulverizes your sense of reasoning and pushes you deep down under seven layers of covers. There is no escaping it, and when the dark forces of the universe come after you, the world will know exactly what you are made of. Will you run? Will you fight? Maybe you’ll join forces with the darkness that rips through your quiet little life. Everyone’s dying to find out.
