    About this ebook

    Awoken - a man finds himself waking up in a graveyard, confused and alone. What's happened to him, and why does everyone he meets run in terror?

    A Thousand Deaths - a mysterious wanderer walks the streets of a ruined city. What mysteries can be found therein?

    The Face of God - Some people search their entire lives for an encounter with the divine. One man finally succeeds in his search, although the encounter isn't quite what he expected.

    Goblin - many of us find that technology can be distracting and unreliable, but what happens when it seems to be going out of its way to torment us personally?

    The Beast in Wascana Lake - a dark, moonlit park, a man-made lake, and a terrible secret hidden below the surface.

    The Vampire's Offer - A young man out for a night on the town ends up finding more than he'd bargained for, and faces the most difficult choice of his life (and afterlife).
