    About this ebook

    In this macabre - and often humorous - collection of weird tales, Mark Ruszala shows readers a glimpse of the dark side.

    A disturbed man sees bugs coming out of the woodwork - they could be merely figments of his imagination...or something more; a convenience store deli counter ends up holding more than cold cuts during a heist gone horribly wrong; two hunters embark on a terrifying trip into the woods from which they may never return; a prehistoric man navigates his way through the jungle that is modern life, and more.

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      I relaxed on the couch watching an illegal show on videotape. “They had such freedom of language back then,” I thought. “I told you to sit, retard,” the man on the screen shouted. Reluctantly plopping down, the other man mumbled, “Faggot.” “We can’t

      As I drove slowly towards the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that
