    About this ebook

    Madness is a series of short stories that offers a glimpse into the minds of several people as they deal with death- either during an out-of-body experience with all the trappings of hell or as killer on a mission.

    Follow along on the journey if you dare, and find out just how easy it is to get caught up in the madness.
