Part of Series

In the blink of an eye, everything can cease to exist. T.S. Eliot tells us in his poem “The Hollow Men” that the world will end not with a bang, but with a whimper. Well, he was wrong. Dead wrong. When death and destruction come, the screams of terror, horror, and excruciating pain will rend the blood-red sky and be heard across the world. When your number is up, there’s nowhere to run and no place to hide. You can't cheat death; death will find you. It always does. Join us for tales of Death and Destruction in this volume of If I Die Before I Wake. From wastelands to dead lands, among the dead and dying, as the world takes one last collective gasp. Death has returned from holiday, and it’s bringing hell with it. The Better Off Dead series delves into the farthest corners of your mind, where your deepest, darkest fears lurk. These masters of horror will haunt your dreams and stalk your nightmares, taking you to the edge of sanity before pushing you to the brink of madness! Contains stories by Steven Pajak, R.E. Sargent, and others. With foreword by John Durgin, author of The Cursed Among Us
