    About this ebook

    They say that in order to overcome our fears, we must face them, and that's exactly what is about to happen a young man with a severe phobia of death.

    As his night turns from uneventful to terrifying in this short story from the author of the Permuted Press novel 'Containment Room Seven', he'll find out that the only thing more terrifying than what lies within the dark is what doesn't.
