About this listen

Eleven eerie short stories of frightening and fantastical horror fiction.

From asking for that first date, going through a temporary separation, and making your way home to a loved one. Relationships begin and end, and along the way, some wonderful and frightening things can happen. Sometimes relationships are sad or scary, at moments they can be funny or poignant. But there is also hope and joy, bonding and healing. And quite often, there is a sprinkle of magic and mystery in the best relationships.

In this new collection, C.L. Phillips delves into the nature of relationships. A family of magic users faces their past. A witch tries to understand her executioners. A father and son share a traumatic bonding experience. A man makes his way home, crossing a strange, dark land while searching for the love he left behind.

Critic Reviews

"Phillips is an ominously inventive and eerily humorous storyteller.”—Jason M. Waltz, editor Rogue Blades Entertainment
