In this volume…

In the dishonest quiet of a hanging moon, two strangers wrestle with the horrifying consequences of a ravenous war.
Sometimes the gods hunger for more than a sit-down meal.
What if your new ‘god’ could do anything he wanted? What if he no longer allowed Christmas?
Death was supposed to find the old woman forced to walk the mottled path.
A grandfather has mere minutes to prepare his granddaughter for the arrival of the Old Gods and ensure the survival of the human race.
A newly single woman celebrates her divorce with an impromptu drive north, but the woods hold horrors worse than her failed marriage.
Peter knows the President has to be stopped, but to what lengths will he go to accomplish this?
She’d never let her boy starve twice.
How many ways can evil enter your house?
With help from her Stuffies, young Emmy organizes a tea party that guarantees to put her back in the family spotlight.
Sometimes, what’s outside the box is scarier than what's hiding inside.
Hear the song once, the cold sets in, he now lives underneath your skin. After hearing a disturbing song, a boy falls victim to the town’s mythical predator, The Ice Cream Man.
Paul isn't sure why, but his teeth are getting bigger every day. And so is his appetite...
A lost whaler finds himself on a deserted island, but something is clearly amiss...
Rosemary finds an old abandoned car seat that might have more life in it yet.
Sometimes they hide in plain sight, where nothing is secret.
