Thoughts of flowers, puppy dogs, and serene shopping malls will be replaced with ghosts in your TV, zombies tearing your flesh, and chainsaws ripping through your chest!

Long live horror!

Revue de Presse:
"This book delivers the goods! Highly recommended!"
-Baron Craze - The Horror Times

Must own!
-Mike Sprague - Arrow In The Head

"The unique voices of the authors comes through. These are not whitewashed to make for pleasant, easy reading. These are raw takes from people who look at life through a lens that includes the horrific possibilities that may, or may not, represent reality in a different context. I found relatable passages throughout the 223 pages. The personal level brought to the essays is one strong reason this collection is worth reading."-Daniel Yocum - Guild Master Gaming
