Life can be pleasurable, exciting, filled with adventure! It can also, at times, be horrific. Dire circumstance may arise out of nature or chance-but sometimes, perhaps even oft-times, they are the result of malignant human agency. People have the capacity to be scarier than the most horrible monsters, demons, or deities dreamt up by horror writers. The evil among us will sacrifice their fellow earthlings in a heartbeat, if they think there is something in it for them.

Whatever life brings to the greatest or the lowliest among us, it always ends in death-always. It is the natural order of things. Until that time, we either think about the end, or try not to think about it.

These collected stories from celebrated horror storyteller, Katherine Kerestman, which were inspired by real-life experiences, will give you something to think about while you ponder the inevitable.
