    About this ebook

    This is a short story collection (an anthology, if you will) of approximately 8,300 words.
    Stumble into the dark imagination of Dar Qwynd with these quirky shorts that thrill, chill, and mildly titillate-if you are in that sort of mood, of course.

    The bites and bits of oddity include:

    “The Sitter”- An obnoxious suburban princess is called by the darkness that bulges beyond the world to claim her terrible birthright. Does she answer the call?

    “Blankie”- A delightfully morbid tale of a boy-child and his favorite blankie from the void that would drive grown men mad.

    “The Bayou”- A story of a bayou rumored to capture lost souls that finally peaks the curiosity of a roving band of miscreant youths. Pulled by strings of happen-such and circumstance, the band's fate will leave you wondering...
