Tyler North is a struggling young photographer in New York. When he wins a voucher for a personalized android, Tyler reluctantly purchases one and names it Aiden. Instead of a dull subservient Android, he was blown away by Aiden's adaptiveness, and is not like the regular androids Tyler had met before.

For 17 year old Benna Denman, it's hard enough being the president's daughter. And when she develops a telepathic Link, life gets even worse. Her father isn't impressed with this new evolutionary ability.

That's just the way he likes it. So when the government starts offering cash in exchange for these telepaths, and Benna is under suspicion by both her boyfriend and her powerful father, she knows she's in trouble. Upon discovering that the cold Dr. Frenchwood plans to use her as a lab rat to develop a cure for telepathy, Benna and her Link, a boy named Corin, decide to try to run...

A collection of short horror experiences, spanning all genres and times. The confessions of a murderer, the archived past of a bloodstained asylum, and the account of a monk who was the sole survivor of a demonic Viking bloodbath all fit together in the Dark Seasons. Because evil isn't restricted by time or character or genre. And darkness seeps into every crack of history. (Rated R for graphic violence, sexual content, horror, and language. Read at your own sanity.)
