A collection of six otherworldly tales from the author of We Burn Our Dead
Tell No Tales — A burned-out spy exiled to a tropical paradise questions his sanity when he finds himself sharing the island with the spirit of his deceased partner.
The Lord of Small Places — An inmate enters into a fight for his and his cellmate’s very souls when they are targeted by a demon prowling the halls of their correctional facility.
Flowers of the Earth — The Devil always gets his due. Will a husband’s desperate bargain with the Gentleman be worth the cost—what is one more day with one’s beloved worth?
Mr. Culver from down the Road — Weary of life, an elderly widower discovers to his supreme frustration that he may be immortal.
Winter Passing — When a group of old friends gathers for a dinner party none wished to attend in the first place, it is anybody’s guess which is colder—the strained relations between them or the malevolent presence scratching at the frosty windows.
The Fire and the Rain — She is a prisoner with no memory of her identity; he is a loving father, a caring husband. Nothing could have prepared them for the truth of who—or what—they really are.
