A woman with muddy fingernails lifts a skull from a splintered coffin. A bloodied switchblade clatters to the pavement behind an all-night diner. The wind howls as a naked man stumbles through snow. On a stony hillside, a lonely old farmer shovels beneath starlight, digging to awaken something ancient... and hungry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe light is fading.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn ten haunting stories, James Maxey guides you deeper into darkness through realms of terror and wonder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stories (with teaser text from each: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLonely Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Maybe we stepped through a vagina door after all.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI Wear Devils\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Awesome.
