From the beginning of time, people have loved stories. And novelists have loved trying their hand at writing them. Short stories are their own art form, and have their own beauty and even their own challenges.

Dead Key Publishing is proud to announce the release of this first annual anthology of short stories by the writers in its catalog.

Inside, you'll encounter alternate universes, a mysterious biker, a character with a love of speed, a disgruntled wife, a coma cosmetician, a few unusual ghosts, a cop suspected of murder, a chilling little girl's collection, a possibly psychopathic boy and a creature that only comes out at the full moon.

What you will also find are stories you won't want to leave, and we hope that will lead you to read more of our Dead Keyers' works.
