We all have ghosts that haunt us...
Two prisoners discover that redemption has many faces while navigating an unexpected escape... Horribly scarred and on the run, a former sex worker finds compassion and shelter in the form of a young drifter... And at a special movie screening in 1982, a journalist discovers that more than the film is unraveling around her... Here, among the ruins of dying worlds and broken dreams, you'll find these and other dark tales, including:
In To The Dead Sea, a writer returns from a year of isolation in a mountain cabin to discover his world is no longer what he left behind.
A young couple is forced to make a life or death decision when they are pulled over by a state trooper just before sunset in Knock, Knock, Knock.
In She Sells Sea Shells, a mother and her nine-year-old daughter get more than they bargained for after purchasing a mysterious conch at a souvenir shop.
The aftermath of a zombie apocalypse leads a small seaside community to find a creative way to keep the outside world at bay... but they soon discover they've created monsters of their own in the darkly comedic Zombay, NL.
And the heartfelt novella Gadget tells the story of a terminally ill old man who reluctantly adopts an elderly mutt and comes to realize that they have more to offer each other than just companionship.
Populated with unforgettable characters and filled with vivid imagery, the eight stories in this anthology are by turns haunting, heartbreaking, horrifying, and hilarious. Whether revisiting the bright nostalgia of the '80s or exploring the darkness at the end of the world, each of these tales will stay with you long after the last page is turned.
