Death Bound: Volume 1

Our lives are isolated by mortality, and regardless of our desire, they all cut inevitable paths to one thing-- death. It's within the pages of this stylishly-imaginative collection of short stories that this is made abundantly clear. These stories are as unsettling as they are heartfelt, entertaining as they are thought-provoking, and as brutally unflinching as they are sensual. The characters within find no simple endings, because they, like us all, are death bound.
