    About this ebook

    The second volume of hair-raising tales of Madness from the pages of The Leaky Pencil. Read stories that question the unsettling borders of reality, and plumb the depths of depravity.

    In "Tap", a young girl left home alone in the house is hoping it's just the wind playing tricks. It's not.

    "Schizo Numericus" introduces a man whose obsession with numbers threatens to crack his world wide open.

    The wife of a "Bookworm" gets a frightening lesson about respecting the written word.

    All these, and much more lie within the 9 Days of Madness.

    Features new work by Amber Taitague, Richard Godwin, Jodi MacArthur, Marissa Giambelluca, R.S. Bohn, S.K. Adams, Laurita Miller, and Erin Cole.
