Evil plagues our world causing pain, feasting on our fear, and stealing our energy. How do we become entangled with it and what price do we pay for doing so?

In A Grim Deal, Needles makes a deal with the “goddess of punks”. In exchange for vandalizing his former church, she promises to make him a world-famous punk rocker. But when the consequences of his deal evoke the ire of a spectral guardian, he learns how hard the “easy way” can be.

In Gentle River, David Keel is investigating a stream by the same name. Known for its strange calming effect on people, more than a few adults and a lot of children have disappeared near its waters. But after setting some of the river’s trapped souls free, Keel becomes the target of the vengeful spirit responsible for the deaths and disappearances.

In Through the Looking Glass, Karen Kline is gifted an antique dresser by her parents. Originally not enthused, after a mind-altering vision, she comes to love it dearly. But doing so opens her up to a predatory entity that puts everyone she cares about in danger.

In this second volume of Tales of Horror, humanity battles malicious spirits for its life, soul, and eternal freedom.

Features three “Extra Shots” horror shorts Old Route 6, Tiny Hearts Bleed, and Out for a Swim.
