description: A new mother is pursued by mysterious men in black. A misguided youth learns the dark secrets of the world from an elderly neighbor on Halloween night. A housewarming party where the guests never leave. A caretaker tends to his rusted relic of a god deep in the desert... In his debut short story collection Bram Stoker Award finalist Ronald Malfi mines the depths and depravities of the human condition exploring the dark underside of religion marriage love fear regret and hunger in a world that spins just slightly askew on its axis. Rich in atmosphere and character Malfi's debut collection is not to be missed.
