Tales of madness galore!
I adore this collection by Sinister Smile Press. The variety of stories from creatures to slasher means it has a little something for everyone.
My top three favorites from the collection:

1. Out of the Box by Renee M.P.T. Kray
In this story, a woman finds a piece of her childhood after her mother passes away. A box. But not just any box. A box her mother used to seal away her imaginary friend. Who may not be so imaginary after all.

2. Lab Rats by Jill Girardi
A grad student uses rats to research the correlation between intelligence and diet. What happens when the testee becomes smarter than the tester?

3. Memory Eater by Jeremy Megargee
An elderly woman finds herself facing a creature who lives in her mind. Not just any creature, one that destroys memories and won’t stop until she’s lost everything that makes her who she is.
