An eclectic mix of tales to entertain and engage the imagination!

Come peruse the dusty shelves of BOOK HAVEN. Scan the titles, study the strange trinkets that are lined up on display. Maybe pull aside the cobwebs and run your fingers alone the spines of the books, caress the artifacts. You will find many forgotten treasures and un-mined gems among the debris.

From the author of Flowers in a Dumpster comes a new collection of short stories to terrify you, to move you, to make you think.

-In "C U Soon," a girl dies in a car accident while texting with her boyfriend, but after her funeral he continues receiving mysterious messages from her.

-In "The Man Who Watched the Ocean," a man mourning the loss of a past love decides to try and join her.

-In "Tanner" a man purchases a used tanning bed in which someone once died and finds that houses aren't the only places that can be haunted.
