Sometimes the road you take isn't the one on the map.
In this third volume of the Back-Pocket Tales series, five haunting stories follow ordinary people as they step-often without realizing it-onto paths where fate, chance, and the supernatural quietly collide. A simple highway stop leads to an impossible discovery. A winning lottery ticket becomes the doorway to a chilling anniversary. Ancient gods stir behind the walls of a quiet home. Shadows lengthen, time bends, and the familiar world slips just far enough out of reach to reveal what walks beside it.
These are stories of wrong turns and hidden truths, of moments when the unseen presses close enough to touch-and sometimes claim-those who wander too near.
Keep this book close. You never know when the unseen road might open beneath your feet.
