There is nothing like hearing a scary story or twisted tale over a crackling campfire. I don't know about you, but some of the most memorial stories I've ever heard were the ones shared amongst friends while basking in an eerie glow. To this day, I can't necessarily recall the words, but I can recall the feeling. A feeling that a darkness, an unrelenting, unsympathetic darkness slowly crept towards me. A feeling that all the things that should not be, that could never possibly exist, lurked in the shadows, waiting for their moment to strike and rip me apart limb-by-limb.
The stories in this volume capture that feeling. Now, as an assortment of stories, you will find one or two that connect with you, possibly even resonate. When that happens, please think about how powerful it would be to tell that story while in the dark. To share with others, friends, and family a story that will stick to them forever, but make sure you keep a light on when you do. Trust me, dear reader, you may not enjoy the sleepless nights that follow!
