Aprašymas

"People have this funny idea there's always a way out." The man stepped a predatory circle around a young woman, seated, and bound. "There's got to be. Right? Wouldn't be fair otherwise." He paused behind her. "Hate to break it to ya, sweetheart. Sometimes there just ain't no way." Slowly, he arched forward until his lips flittered against the curve of her ear. "That's why people die."

In this collection of supernatural suspense five people face the challenges of their lives. Here, a lonely woman is drawn to danger for reasons that will only become clear beyond the point of no return. A little girl scrambles to save her brother in the ruins of a dying world. An elderly man pays for his curiosity when he is forced on a deadly ride to the country. Revenge is all a broken widower has left to live for, however, delivering justice may mean cutting through the innocent first. Finally, an old traveler knocks on a man's door and informs him an unpayable debt has come due.
Enter Among the Stray, where the will to survive strains beneath the weight of the world.
