About this ebook

ARM OF DARKNESS contains six short stories of horror.

***

Two brothers stumble upon a website so entrancing that it marks them for death.

A murderous drifter wanders into the wrong bar on a snowy night.

A lovesick executive rents a hideous creature designed to nibble his cares away.

These hapless souls become unwitting victims of a mysterious stranger who lives in these mountains. His hand is fashioned from the night sky. It is powerful, dark, deadly. When the weather's right, he heads out of the hills and lavishes irresistible gifts on unsuspecting people.

Truth is, he cares nothing for humans. He's a demonic prankster who wreaks casual violence on every person he meets. He's about to offer you a bargain. 

Piece of advice? Don't trust him.
