Description


What if humanity's demons encounter the unnatural and unknown? Six stories in this sci-fi/fantasy horror anthology will answer this very question --- - A Foot Rots From Inside: After her daughter goes missing along with others, a politician mother leads a mob of vigilantes to track them down. The trail takes them somewhere otherworldly deep in the mountains. - AudioFile 48: An intern retrieves the flash drive of a scientist who disappeared, and gives it to their editor-in-chief. It is said that it holds vital information on secret fringe research. In a way it does, but not as one would expect. - The Demonic and the Eldritch: A mass murderer kills the participants of a summoning ritual at a Halloween party. His interruption would unknowingly bring about an entity older than time and more malevolent than he could ever strive to become. - Nuckelavee: A saboteur is placed on trial for the destruction of a controversial laboratory and the deaths of all present during the action. What she recounts, may not only prove her innocence, but reveal something truly evil that happened behind security doors. - Off Alchemy Way: An assassin is hired to hunt down and kill a slum lord, who has been causing her employer trouble. It won't be an easy task, since this slum lord is likely behind a string of strange and grizzly murders racking the city with fear. Will she succeed in the hit, or will she become another of her target's victims? - The Stud of the Hour: A lifestyle influencer is kidnapped by a family. They want him to become part of their clan... if he's willing to do them a favor that is.
