    About this ebook

    Two stories. Two Dark and Twisted themes. A 19th Century serial killer with a peculiar fascination for skulls finds his perfect victim...or so he thinks. Next, a Victorian Era child is murdered by a mysterious stranger, and her porcelain doll becomes the catalyst for a century of torment.

    Volume One of Dark and Twisted: Short Story Duos combines the desire for horror and haunting tales with the need for quick fiction. Take a journey through the mind of a truly demented man and end with the torment of a gentle soul.
