Lindley Valcarcel's new collection of stories leaves you sad, horrified and chuckling. Prepare for tales where scares don't come from things that go bump: - a search for dead children who only want you to play with them - a diary you shouldn't read, especially in a house with homicidal tendencies - an adopted child with a past buried by his ever-moving adopted parents - wild animals finding a free buffet lunch during the alien invasion of Earth - a late night convenience store visit with a missing relative The stories in this anthology span the gamut of supernatural, science fiction, and horror. "A plethora of stories, some that I can only describe as compassionate horror." - A.B. Alvarez, editor of 13 , and author of the Kidnapping Anna trilogy
