Stranger Calls: Dark Tales

By Tyler Miller

Step into the dark, uneasy dreams of award-winning writer Tyler Miller:

What if Hell wasn’t a fire-burning pit in the afterlife, but a real place here on Earth? A place you could accidentally stumble upon by mistake. A place that, once you found it, never wanted you to leave.

A pleasant day hike turns tragic when Miguel returns alone. He swears his brother is dead, the victim of a gigantic bird deep within the woods. No one believes this story. But Miguel is not deterred. If people won’t believe, well...he’ll make them believe.

An unhappy couple takes a final trip as their marriage crumbles, hoping for one last weekend in the sun. But someone recognizes Patty Bouman, someone from deep within her past. Someone who let her slip away once before. And who won’t make that mistake again.

Bizarre and unsettling, full of unexpected twists and turns, Stranger Calls showcases the exceptional talents of one of the finest writers of the dark fantastic at work today.
