In \"Reflections in Black,\" a man takes a phantasmagoric Halloween journey in search of a former love. In \"The Parts Man,\" a man enters a desperate contract with a sinister entity in a long, vintage automobile. The darkly beautiful \"The Dead Outside My Door\" is a haunting post-apocalyptic tale unlike any you've ever read. Other offerings include \"Whatever You Want,\" in which a Christmas wish has terrible consequences; \"Torn,\" a bizarre version of a highly personalized Hell; and \"The Way Station,\" a tribute to the legendary Stefan Grabinski.
