These aren't stories for the faint of heart or easily disturbed. This collection of short horror stories by up-and-coming author Thomas Russell questions and redefines the very nature of our reality, and the creatures and beings who wait and watch from beyond it...

A puppet who is a king. A young girl who is just a human. Both trying to find love, but have never succeeded. Until now. When a baby girl gets dropped off by her mother at Horrorland, things go from bad to good when Madame Doom tells Slappy that the baby girl just might be destined to be his queen. I shook and began whimpering. Slappy pulled me close to him and gently rubbed my back. "Shh. It is going to be okay." "No!" I pushed him hard and stood up. "It will not be okay! What those monsters are doing to the humans is certainly not okay! Making them lunch? Dropping worms and even snakes on them? That is sick and scary!" Tears formed in my eyes. "I thought that you all cared for me!" "We do care for you! We love you!" I shook my head and sniffed. "And what about you? Why do you hardly spend time with me? I thought that we were friends. Best friends!" "We are best friends! You just need to relax and calm down, so we can talk about this." "What is there to talk about? You all are liars! I do not know what to believe anymore!" "Believe me, Shelly! I want what is best for you!" "Then I should leave, dummy!" I gasped and covered my mouth. That was the first time that I ever called him the 'D' word. I was really mad, especially with him. I could see that he was hurt by my words because he looked down and teared up, not saying a word. I let out a heavy sigh. I had to leave now. There was no way that he was going to forgive me for the things that I said. Even I would not forgive myself for saying such hurtful things. "S-Slappy...I-I am sorry..." I threw my doll to the ground and began climbing the fence to leave this park once and for all, and there was no turning back. That is, until... "Ah!" My hands were so sweaty that I lost my grip on the fence - and started falling.

"In a mad world, only the mad are sane." With nothing but insanity surrounding them, Harry and Rose hardly have a choice of what gets tossed their way next. False identities, mistaken children's lyrics, dictators, torture, Daniel's horrendous yet lovable blabber mouth - it all seems to be a vital role in what fate has to offer. But the question is, who can survive the insanity and who cannot? [Highest Ranking: #8 in FanFiction] [started Nov. 24, 2014 - ended May 17, 2015]
