Can we tempt you to dive into a collection of stories where death prowls in the shadows waiting to pounce?

From a saloon owner, intent on revenge, to a rookie witch, hell-bent on summoning up her dead ancestor. From alien tax dodgers, and hapless bandits, to the horror of WW1.

Hang on to your hats, as we careen from the dusty streets of the lawless wild west to small town... slightly more law abiding but, seemingly, no less dangerous... West Virginia. Take a breath as you are catapulted far beyond our galaxy only to bounce back to earth to witness a bungled bank robbery, before skidding to an ungainly halt in a muddy trench on the edge of no man's land.

At first glance, there is no connection between these disparate tidbits with their colourful characters, until you grasp the common thread – that Death never takes a holiday!

Five tasty morsels – dare you risk a bite?
