Darker Waters

By Ted Laughton

A collection of six otherworldly tales from the author of We Burn Our Dead

Tell No Tales - A burned-out spy exiled to a tropical paradise questions his sanity when he finds himself sharing the island with the spirit of his deceased partner.

The Lord of Small Places - An inmate enters into a fight for his and his cellmate's very souls when they are targeted by a demon prowling the halls of their correctional facility.

Flowers of the Earth - The Devil always gets his due. Will a husband's desperate bargain with the Gentleman be worth the cost-what is one more day with one's beloved worth?

Mr. Culver from down the Road - Weary of life, an elderly widower discovers to his supreme frustration that he may be immortal.

Winter Passing - When a group of old friends gathers for a dinner party none wished to attend in the first place, it is anybody's guess which is colder-the strained relations between them or the malevolent presence scratching at the frosty windows.

The Fire and the Rain - She is a prisoner with no memory of her identity; he is a loving father, a caring husband. Nothing could have prepared them for the truth of who-or what-they really are.
