A frightened child, turning to the only person who can save him.
A prison full of vicious inmates, generously judged by a seasonally kind man.
A young, weary couple, suffering a strange harassment from the unlikeliest of places.
A cold night that claims its own, and the hope of a man who walks with the darkest of damnations.

These and other stories of the macabre are here to delight and chill the reader.


From the winner of the Octocon 2011 Short Story competition (with "Intervention Paradox"), Season of the Macabre combines three of Damien's other short story collections (Cold Comfort Child, A Polite Exchange, and The Rare Gift), into one master volume.
