Naaz Rashid should have died. She doesn't know why she survived. She doesn't know what happened to her. And, at first, she has no reason to believe that her inexplicable brush with death has anything to do with the strange events that begin unfolding afterward. But strange things have a habit of becoming stranger. A curse is released. Old secrets begin resurfacing. People separated by distance and time find themselves connected by circumstances they cannot explain. The past begins bleeding into the present, while discoveries at the edges of science suggest that some things dismissed as superstition may be far more tangible than anyone would like to believe. There are haunted places, buried histories, impossible phenomena and people whose greatest threat may not be what lurks outside them, but what lies within. And somewhere amid the horror, the absurdity and the occasional moments of dreadful normality, one question remains: What, exactly, did Naaz survive? Because whatever happened that day was not the end of something. It was the beginning.

What would you do if you woke up and your skin was missing? What if your father raised you to clean game while it was alive? What lengths would you go through to be buried next to your one true love? What would you do if you found out your boss is using dark magic and alchemy to make their food more addictive? In this tomb of fiction, the darker corners of the human phyce are explored. The tales may be tall and unyieldingly dark, but the horrors that are dreamt of are only too real. When you hear the voice of the Wyndigo screaming into the night, remember that even if you don't believe the myths, the tribes of humans who went mad with starvation were all too real. As long as the mind exists, there will be ways for it to break, but some logic only makes sense to the broken mind. So, I would like to be the first to welcome you to the broken recesses of my own mind. May you walk away with the lightest of scathing. If you don't need therapy, you will. If you do need therapy, you'll question your therapist.
