Truths always catch up with us. There's no denying it. Your senses heighten-as a presence lurks in the shadows, haunting your thoughts with every move. Knots form in your stomach from guilt, memories, or real horrors. Each moment is fraught with heaviness, zapping energy as your reflections pull toward whatever or whomever cowers in the shadows, ready to pounce at the slightest chance to claw at your soul. The stories and poems in this anthology evoke powerful emotions across distinct perspectives and eras-plagued by terrors, misinterpretations, suffering, and lost love. Does hope linger when ghosts hold all the cards? With stories and poetry by Amanda Dier, Amanda Nevada DeMel, Benjamin Larned, Christina Bergling, Darrell Z. Grizzle, Eric David Roman, G.B. Lindsey, J. Daniel Stone, John Grover, M. Edusa, Maxwell I. Gold, May Walker, Michael Thomas Ford, R.J.K. Lee, Rook Riley, Ryan Cole, Sara Tantlinger, Sean Eads, Sumiko Saulson, and Toshiya Kamei.
