A collection of four critically acclaimed, gripping short novels that explore the darkness lurking within ordinary lives.

Black Canyon

Twelve-year-old Brian Garrett embarks on a weekend camping trip in Colorado’s Black Canyon of the Gunnison, hoping to reconnect with his distant parents. But when his father suffers a brutal accident deep in the chasm, survival takes a sinister turn. Over the next twenty-four hours, Brian will face a horrifying truth about his father—and himself.

Rewind

A man wakes in a decaying apartment, hooked to a mysterious machine, a dead body in the next room—and no memory of who he is. As he pieces together his identity over the next forty-eight hours, he makes a shocking discovery: he may be one of the most powerful figures of the twenty-first century. But some secrets should never be uncovered.

Run

A year ago, Charlotte barely escaped with her life after her boyfriend Luke—a former soldier suffering from PTSD—snapped during a camping trip in the Catskills. Now, she’s rebuilding in the quiet town of Asheville, North Carolina. But when Luke is released from prison and shows up at her doorstep, determined to win her back—or destroy her—Charlotte realizes she has only one option: run.

Neighbors

New York City is a haven for those who value anonymity—exactly why twenty-five-year-old Buddy Smith calls it home. But when a beautiful and enigmatic woman moves in next door, his carefully controlled world unravels. She’s charming, unpredictable … and may be a killer. Against his better judgment, Buddy lets her in—unaware that one night with her will change his life forever.
