From the Back Cover

A Feast of Fear!"A gripping and deliciously-disturbing collection of stories! These are well-written tales which burrow deep under the skin, staying long past the telling. Enjoyable​, fast-paced, clever, well-crafted and structured — all with great twists, and suitably horrifying. {The stories are}...beautifully-written ...full of foreboding and malicious intent. A great example of the author's expressive writing and descriptive genius."Judges Commentary, 29th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
