Decisions are doorways, whether everyday or fundamental, all lead somewhere... But some choices reach a strange domain, a dark junction on the boundary between possession and loss, good and evil, life and death… A place where what should not be, somehow becomes what is.

Enter here for tales from that realm:

Mother's Mercy — A story of sacrifice where a woman yearning for a child finds an elderly mother paying a terrible price.

The Angel's Gate — The devout faith of a young seminarian propels him beyond conventional belief, towards wonders, horrors, and a new way to be of service.

Chicken House, Alaska — Grief and courage drive a silent, solitary child into the unknowable to protect everything she loves.

Figure Eight — Hope twists into despair as an ex-convict enduring the bleak captivity of addiction considers a potentially deadly shot at freedom.

Swole — A gym rat seeking physical perfection wonders how much pain his gains will finally demand...

This collection features the return of Detective Andy Lorimar (One Night Only) in the standalone novella Oubliette.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
