Bleedthrough and Other Small Horrors

EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH BLOOD.A virtual-reality getaway stirs up latent malice. A lingering illness hides a truly monstrous malady.

A solitary occultist wakes to find his summoning ritual gone horribly awry, a mother's grief leads her into a resort's troubled past, and a teenage girl's growing pains mark the beginning of an otherworldly change.These and other stories await in Bleedthrough and Other Small Horrors, the debut collection of dark short fiction from Scarlett R. Algee.
