With two brand new stories by Grady Richards.
In this dark collection you will find otherworldly spiders, zombie debt collectors, malevolent pets, and prophecy gone awry.  You will see into the heart of a child-killer and into the heart of a man mourning the loss of his daughter.  You will find terrors locally in a man who fears his neighborhood demons, and distantly in a man who caught a devastating illness in deep space.  You will look through the eyes of a maniac, you will feel with the soul of the vengeful, and you will peek through spread fingers as you watch the things which keep you up at night as they begin to crawl forward and feed.All Rights Reserved

Divine Purpose by romolavinia91

What if we could see the evil creatures following us around? What if we could see the demons taunting us day in and day out? Those demons that install fear and anxiety into our minds. My family can. We are the blessed few chosen by God to destroy the evil beings dragging us to hell. We see things no one else should or could. I thought I could fight them off. I was raised to be the strongest but that crumbled when he came along. Cal was the nightmare that turned into a reality. He corners me in the darkest of places; twisting me into a cynical destructive world where nothing makes sense. I don't know how much more I can take before I erupt pieces of what could have been.

Fated by JaideHarley

****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it. She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. Her sounds were intoxicating. I could smell how much she was responding to me and it brought my need for her out even more. I cupped her cheek and brought my lips over to hers, just barely brushing against them. "Addie," I whispered against her mouth, threading my hand through her hair. ... Addie has been abducted and thrown into the supernatural world. She discovers vampires have kidnapped her to manipulate an Alpha werewolf. Not just any werewolf, her mate.

The Labyrinth by UnmannedPickle

I had a dream. It was not some ambition, nor a lofty goal that I wanted to pursue. But a true dream. Nearly a nightmare, really. But it was fascinating to me. Over a year later, it sits in my heart as heavy today as it was then. The tones of the dream and its themes, for want of a better word, were weighty, intense, and disturbing. A dream that explored themes of death, loss, shame, self-destruction, depression, and the struggles of the human condition. I'm not a writer, even casually, though I've long been a lover of books. This is my first, and likely only, attempt at writing, an attempt to put to words the contents of that dream that left such a mark on me. This is my dream. It is not perfectly relayed, for that would be a poor payment to anyone who takes the time to read this. Rather, it is the bones of my dream given flesh, clothed in my own experiences and traumas of the human experience. I hope that you, dear reader, find it as compelling as I did when I first dreamt it.

Now the world is full of monsters - the walking, flesh-eating, undead variety. Now the loner Eli is forced to run with a small group of survivors just to stay alive. But while he is busy trying to find out where he belongs in this new post-apocalyptic world, the terrors continue to grow out there in the darkness.
