    About this ebook

    “The House is Empty” follows Arthur and his life after his breakup with his girlfriend Bella. Parties, one-night stands and the freedom to do as he pleases, quickly lose their luster and Arthur must now face the truth he has tried to suppress

    In “Love, Undying,” a married couple, Ralph and Anna fight to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic word infested by zombie-like creatures. When their paths cross with a mysterious girl, seeds of mistrust begin to grow.

    “Something to Remember Him By,” tells the tale of Ana, a recently single woman who lives alone in a secluded area. When a strange package with a cryptic note arrives on her doorstep one night, her life is turned upside down when she discovers what is inside the box.

    In the final story, a young boy named Jacob is fascinated by the storm cellar in his yard. After hearing screams and mysterious figures emerging from it, he is determined to uncover the secret of “The Cellar”.
