"Each tale left me jaw-dropped by the end. Cassandra expertly sets a stage before plunging the knife straight into your heart." --Brad Ricks, author of Fear Not the Dead A girl is tutored by an elderly neighbor to strengthen her ability to leave her body. A man wanders a bizarre and seemingly unending airport. An antique mirror lures a girl into a sinister alternate realm. An elderly Polish woman confesses a dark crime to a doll. A young man encounters strange and unnatural teachers at his new school. A fun, zombie-themed 5K turns into a terrifying fight for survival when the undead turn out to be all too real. From the depths of grief and the thirst for revenge to the terror of supernatural forces and the fight for survival, these stories and others delve into the darkest corners of our world where the lines between reality and nightmare blur, and the only certainty is that nothing is quite as it seems.
