Bleedthrough and Other Small Horrors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734389708)

EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH BLOOD.

A virtual-reality getaway stirs up latent malice. A lingering illness hides a truly monstrous malady. A young girl realizes her new stepmother is something other than human, while a dying man's last wish bestows his ghoulish lover with the most intimate of gifts. A solitary occultist wakes to find his summoning ritual gone horribly awry, a mother's grief leads her into a resort's troubled past, and a teenage girl's growing pains mark the beginning of an otherworldly change.

These and other stories await in Bleedthrough and Other Small Horrors, the debut collection of dark short fiction from Scarlett R. Algee.
