About From the Darkest Hours 13 Darkly Twisted Tales: the from Series Volume II

In his second volume of deliciously strange tales, Jeremy M. Wright invites you along another road with thirteen detours down dark paths. This stunning collection of stories includes the hit novella Last Girl Found. Here at the Fold-A rare solar eclipse last happened around these parts when Sam was eight, and he remembers what spilled out of the fold of waning light. Now seventy years later, it's coming again, and it's going to trap him inside his convenient store with two kids who fail to understand the terror that comes with it. Inheritance-Dillon wanted nothing to do with his father's fortune, earned by manufacturing instruments of death. But that didn't stop his father from leaving him one thing-the single nightmare that has followed them through generations. Strange Behavior-In a trance-like state, four-year-old Caleb sketches a plane wreckage, along with the numbers 27 and 1. Now, his parents learn of a downed plane hours later, and the announcement of twenty-seven deceased, and a sole survivor. Then Caleb begins sketching again, bringing the sinister survivor closer to home. Such Games We'll Play-The small wooden puzzle box was sitting in the middle of Lucy's driveway, begging to be opened. What comes spilling out seems impossible to exist and is determined to drive her mad. Last Girl Found-After enduring five weeks of unspeakable misery at the hands of three men known as The Wolf Pack, Kelly Ray walks out of the Virginia woods alive. Broken in body but not mind, she reassembles what she can of a normal life. But five years later, that normal life has a twisted way of correcting the depravity that man creates. Vengeance carries a sweet possibility as Kelly encounters one of the three men who tried to take her life in those godless woods. But she doesn't want just one of them. She wants all three. Kelly knows they've snatched another girl, because Reyna Mathers' face is all over the evening news. She also knows the clock is ticking until the girl gets a small taste of the punishment these men offer. She knows better than anyone what they're capable of, and that Reyna is a few weeks away from a shallow grave beside all the others who have vanished. Kelly has constructed the interrogation device necessary to get the information she needs. Now she has the incentive to take this game to a sinister level. And eight more tales best read in the dark! From the author of Chasing Daylight, From Shadowed Places, Man of Exile, and the young adult novels The Good Ship, and Paper Moon Landing, Jeremy M. Wright invites you along this journey somewhere between damnation and salvation.
