About this ebook

#1 Horror Bestseller and multiple Bram Stoker finalist Michaelbrent Collings brings you a "chilling collection of eight tales...as scary as they are satisfying" (Publisher's Weekly).

 

A family that wins tablet computers at a deal to good to be believed...
A man who is sent across the universe, only to discover the most dangerous world in existence...
A hitman who realizes that his greatest contract is going to be himself...
A man whose child has been targeted by a cult, and must decide what he is willing to do to save those he loves...

 

Michaelbrent Collings brings you eight tales of people whose lives -- and sometimes deaths -- have fallen into decay.

 

Tales of the ordinary and the extraordinary, the outrageous and the banal. Tales of lives bright, lives dim.

 

Stories of a universe fallen, where every happiness has its opposite, and every smile will be inevitably darkled...
