My eyes marveled at the sight of decaying flesh, rotting souls. We lingered in a cold world. Shadows stalked us as we traveled across the Devil’s grave.

Deception walks among us, clinging to our shadows as we fight to survive life, overcome death, relieve pain, and escape envy’s grasp. If you trod upon the earth long enough, you’ll feel death’s angel hovering over your carcass, pleading for you to let her in. Will you?

This is not my typical genre or format but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the length of the stories. Some as short as a page long. But they had their desired impact for sure. I loved the style of writing. – Danielle Watts

This group of short stories is deliciously horrifying. Even the ones that are merely a page long will make your jaw drop. Make you want more. I’m not usually into short stories but she did an amazing job in her writing and I definitely will be reading more. I most definitely recommend checking this creepy book out! – Monique Beasley, Author
