Tales of the Supernatural
On Sale Now!
Have you ever felt an unexplained tingling chill running the length of your spine? As sophisticated as you are, does walking past a cemetery in the dark make you quicken your pace? Is there a shadow on the edge of your vision late at night, when logical explanations and the veil between worlds are at their thinnest?
If so, you know the world many deny; the realm of shadows. Creatures and spirits barely beyond our conscious thought. Beasts and foul manifestations that haunt our dreams. Wandering, tormented lost souls looking for rest...or revenge. Come along, if you dare, to the kingdom of the dark, where our childhood fears still exist, and new ones lurk in wait for the unwary.
Be warned: if you doubt your courage and fortitude, do not open the cover!
But if you are brave enough, or foolish enough, come along. After all, they're only stories...
