In Samurai and Other Stories you’ll find numerous ghosts, many Scotsmen, a big blob, some holy relics, some unholy relics, a Mothman, a barbarian, some swordplay, a shoggoth and people that nobody expects.This collection by William Meikle brings together stories from the past decade in an exploration of the perils of exploring dark places, both external and internal.
