Oddball bite-sized short tales for lovers of modern horror and paranoia with a sprinkling of comedy and linguistics therein. Delve into the maniacal collection of stories and contemplate them after each morsel consumed. The conceptual idea is short but can be mused over for hours on end afterward. This book is a mixing pot of people on the edge of reality; some trapped in a future dystopian world, others incarcerated in a parallel universe, and some held captive by their own oneiric and unnerving theatricality which slowly eats away at their souls, devouring them, gas lighting them between real life and their own depraved sordid minds, and ultimately tormenting them until the very end. The collection pays testament to the premise that the most frightening thing on earth is the human mind and its ever-expanding lexicon with which it haunts itself and others. Imagine those thousands of novels never written which were just too disturbing to put into prose and only existed in the minds of those sad unfortunate Dantesque mutilated souls who never managed to get them into print because they took themselves out of the game or were mere marionettes to their own over-creative minds and just could not remember those horrible nightmares or daydreams that often visited them night and day. Myth and storytelling are all created from the human mind whether in verbal or written form, and we have terrified each other with them since the beginning of time.
