In the shadows, cold and deep,
Where the monsters softly creep,
Whispers echo in the night,
Feeding on my fading light.
Hush now, child, don't you cry,
Feel the hunger, close your eyes,
In the dark, the shadows play,
Sing the song to keep them at bay.
Teeth that gnash, claws that scrape,
Through the dark, there's no escape,
But the hunger keeps me strong,
Guiding me where I belong.
Hush now, child, don't you cry,
Feel the hunger, close your eyes,
In the dark, the shadows play,
Sing the song to keep them at bay.
When the night is closing in,
And the fear begins to win,
Let the hunger be your guide,
Through the darkness, deep inside.
Hush now, child, don't you cry,
Feel the hunger, close your eyes,
In the dark, the shadows play,
Sing the song to keep them at bay.

**INCLUDES BONUS BOOK - A CHILD CALLED WENDY**
*****
It was just an experiment. Simply kill one person to see what it felt like. See beauty in the moment of death. See if it filled the void within her. It didn't. Nor did it the next time. Or the next. Gwen is an ordinary person. Wife to Amanda. Mother to Grace and Alexandra. Suddenly, she is no longer ordinary as she finds herself battling her urges and demons before she hurts those closest to her. But is it already too late?
