From the wildly imaginative storyteller behind Punktown and other strange worlds, comes the novella BEYOND THE DOOR. Two strangers meet in a train station, and begin swapping stories—stories that eerily interweave, and grow more and more disturbing and bizarre. The headless undead, a gruesome flea circus, flesh-eating insects, and a menacing house that won’t stay put. These are just some of the tales that will reveal as much about the teller as they do the mysteries behind that frayed curtain we call reality. BEYOND THE DOOR is a story about how we connect with one another through storytelling—and tantalize ourselves with the unknown.
