Picks: Some Things I Dug Up

An atheist finds himself in a foxhole on the front lines of a bloody war, or, as his girlfriend's family calls it, Sunday dinner. Security stops a man in a raincoat from destroying a priceless (and haunted) painting of a long-dead Spanish Lady, and she makes certain that no good day's work goes unpunished. A maritime ghost haunts an unlikely spot, but he just wants to play a little game with people he meets. Alone. At night. These fast, brooding and shrewd short stories from one of the newest voices in horror are good fun for dark, stormy nights and marshmallow roasts alike. Bring a blanket and tuck in the kiddies... somewhere they can't hear you scream. **Print edition contains a bonus! Addie: A Hate Story Imagine meeting someone you don't like. Now imagine they won't leave you alone, even at work. Now imagine your work isn't strictly legal, but hey, your stalker isn't strictly... natural. When boy meets girl and sparks fly in this short story, things could burn.
