Part of Series
We've always loved short stories. We see many great ones in our literary pursuits, and we want to share them will you. So we brought our book passion to short fiction, and carefully gathered seven intense stories across 150 pages, all in one premium soft cover collection. Introducing Volume 0. Our first issue sold out, so we're back with Issue Two! Darker. Edgier. Strange-er. We like our stories intense, offbeat, and fun in a slightly naughty way. So expect bad behavior, adult themes, a little magic and a bit of menace. You might not like all of these stories. Some might even make you a bit uncomfortable. But we certainly don't think you'll be bored.
