    About this ebook

    In a rational world there is the slight potential, every once in a 'blue moon', for man's naturalistic belief system to be slightly altered. As his logical perspective quickly materializes into a conflicting and mind boggling battle to conquer his or her confounding rationality. Conditions that arise from baseless fears and conflicting doubts which linger deep within the darkest abyss of mans' subconscious mind.
    Promptly, in each one of the Four Strange Stories, elements of the bizarre are fused with the supernatural. A paranormal brew of fictional accounts render man's struggle against his or her psyche. As a consequence, man is forced to temporarily choose one over the other amidst insurmountable odds which could very well end in death.
