In this chilling collection of short stories, the macabre comes in many forms. A woman's leg holds the key to keeping a monster at bay. A crochet hook is used for protection. At a rural church ceremony, death waits in the pews. Hoping for improved sight, a child has violent visions. A woman is unexpectedly aided by an unknown entity. A fisherman returns what was once claimed. A man deals with the grief of loss. An alien plague is thwarted without weapons. A man's life unravels taking everything but giving a new start. A cursed bicycle spans generations to ride again. These ten tales go beyond the pale to explore lines between life and death, fear and sorrow, real and unreal, as characters cling to scraps of hope, thoughts of revenge, or redemption.
