Nine Short Stories. One Amazing Short Story Collection. In this short stories anthology, experience the thrill of exploring a world populated with creatures unlike any you have ever seen, ghouls that feed in the darkness of the London underground in The Orphaned City and the strange patient who stalks the halls of a mental asylum in Inferiority Complex. Through mystery thriller short stories, discover worlds where humans themselves are the most curious species of all, like the charming smile of the mysterious Jack in Knowing Jack and the devious mind of Red in The Path I Set Upon. In one fiction book, travel between worlds bound together by one all encompassing weave of horror, fantasy, crime and mystery thriller storytelling. Short fiction has the ability to create these new worlds, which still reflect our lives in the real world. Each story in this collection offers a different perspective on human experience, a glimpse of who we really are, who we might have been, or who we wish to become. Will the next short story scare you, or make you think differently about the world? Will it spark into life a new idea, the kind that Jake develops from an overheard conversation in Dreamworld. Or question our very existence, like the revelations of Professor Westerham in Reflection. It might even lead to a dangerous hunt for untold riches, which Ryan experiences in The Hassam Legacy. Whatever your tastes, this book holds a story for everyone. You may even discover a love for stories you wouldn't have considered before. Fiction does that to you. It draws you into its welcoming embrace. Sometimes the welcome is warm, like the strength of Helen after dealing with death in Coming of Age. Other times you feel an icy chill as the story grips you, like the terror that claws at Meg when she hears her parrot speak in Scared to Death. Either way, you'll always remember how you felt when you took your first step. So take that step now. Discover a collection of stories linked, not by genre, but by their ability to make you think and feel. Nine different worlds are waiting to be explored. Each hides a secret, a twist that awaits discovery by an adventurous reader. Welcome to our worlds.
