The tales that comprise this anthology cover a broad range of subjects from humor to sci-fi / fantasy. Settings are unified by geography every so often. Themes are revisited and contrasted.
Equally as varied are my inspirations! Mad props go to Poe, Lovecraft, Blackwood, and Alvin Schwartz short story writers whose work I devour. I extend credit, too, to those whose names are not known. I refer to folklorists and their immortal, blood-soaked yarns, passed from campfire to campfire, that kept me awake so many nights.
You'll find Easter Eggs in the forms of call-backs or shout-outs to my muses and even to my 1st anthology of horror (relax; you don't need to read it). The NAZIs resume their role of lurking, creeping malevolence. Wendigos / Skinwalkers may or may not make cameos. As do ghosts, aliens, cults, and evil of 'everyday' pedigree.
