Retro-Grade: A Collection of Cursed Tales

By J Taylor

NO REFUNDS. NO EXCHANGES. NO ESCAPE.

It arrives in the dead of night. A matte-black semi-truck squeezed into an alleyway where it doesn't belong. A neon sign buzzing with a warning: RETRO-GRADE.

Inside, the shelves are stocked with vintage treasures. A pair of red cowboy boots that make you the best dancer in Texas. A flannel shirt that keeps you warm in the damp Seattle woods. A jewelry box with a ballerina that spins just a little too fast. A set of walkie-talkies that can pick up a frequency from somewhere else.

The prices are cheap. But the cost is high.

From the frozen streets of Detroit to the high-rises of Chicago, eight different kids are about to discover that some bargains are too good to be true. Because once you buy from the collection, you belong to the collection.

And the Shopkeeper is always looking for new inventory.

Do you dare to enter the shop?

Includes 8 terrifying tales of cursed objects and the kids who bought them:
