This is a collection of seven short stories. They were intended as horror/thriller stories that provide an alternative to all of the stories and movies with happy endings. The good guy doesn't always win. Sometimes no one escapes the monster. Love itself doesn't even guarantee a fairy tale ending. A first-time author with a fascination for scary stories presents his version of them. A quick read, they offer the option for entertainment on a quick break at work, or a few stories to read before bedtime. Unless, of course, you intend to sleep afterwards.
