Then I got laid off from my job. I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s getting hard. There’s no one for me to turn to for help.

I'm Thane Stone, a simple man that wants nothing more than to put down a few crops in the plot of land I purchased at the edge of town.

My bloodline's powers are a nice touch though.

The stories here represent the best of them, disturbing tales that dig deep and take you into the dark heart of horror itself, unrelenting and unapologetic.
