From Tyler Jones (author of Criterium, The Dark Side of the Room, and Almost Ruth) comes Burn the Plans, a collection featuring fourteen tales of supernatural suspense. In 'A Sharp Black Line' children go missing whenever a ghostly island appears in the center of a river during a storm, and a father must make a terrible choice. Two young brothers are tasked with burying the family dog, and uncover dark family secrets in 'Trigger'. In 'Red Hands', a disturbed man goes on a killing spree, and his childhood friend suspects it has something to do with what they found, many years ago, hidden in a cave. A courtroom sketch artist draws the evil she cannot see in 'The Devil on the Stand'. A young boy sets out to get photographic proof of the ghosts that haunt his home in 'Boo!'. Grotesque government experiments, a remote viewer who blurs past and future, a crate that contains ancient evil, and bloodthirsty machines are all part of the world in which these tales take place. Featuring thirteen short stories and one novelette, Burn the Plans is a relentless journey into the dark places we end up when all of our plans go wrong.
