When You Find Out What You're Made Of: and Other Stories

What lurks beneath your skin...and your psyche? Thirteen individuals learn terrifying truths about themselves or others in this macabre offering from award-winning author Michelle von Eschen. From werewolves, sea zombies, and giant, sentient tapeworms, to a strange case of pyrophobia, and a mother’s front row seat to a child-stealing pandemic, this collection runs the gamut of odd to horrific. Take a look inside, but remember: It’s not always pretty when you find out what you’re made of.
