13: 13, #1

By Lindley Valcarcel

Lindley Valcarcels new collection of stories leaves you sad, horrified and chuckling.

Prepare for tales where scares don't come from things that go bump:
- a search for dead children who only want you to play with them
- a diary you shouldn't read, especially in a house with homicidal tendencies
- an adopted child with a past buried by his ever-moving adopted parents
- wild animals finding a free buffet lunch during the alien invasion of Earth
- a late night convenience store visit with a missing relative

The stories in this anthology span the gamut of supernatural, science fiction, and horror.

"A plethora of stories, some that I can only describe as compassionate horror."
- A.B. Alvarez, editor of 13, and author of the Kidnapping Anna Trilogy
