A rock star living in excess is called home after the disappearance of his son and must atone for past sins. A bartending ex-preacher becomes an accessory to murder. A suicidal writer spending a winter weekend at the Jersey Shore is snowed in with a cult and its strange goddess.

In the new edition of Lucas Mangum's debut collection, these stories and more plunge head-first into darkness both human and paranormal.

Lives and whole worlds end.

Rebirth leads to a second death.

These stories are both terrifying and transformative, and after reading them, you won't be the same.
