'Twelve authors from across the globe come together in one volume to tell their unique, dark tales. The short stories in this first volume speak of misfits, murderers, and psychos; a painting haunted by its past; a broken angel who will spread heartbreak to regain his former glory; a hangman who must continue his wretched job in the face of utter desperation; a teenager's unforgettable, and terrifying, first kiss. Enter a new world created by twelve exceptionally talented authors whose names you will not forget.' (Publisher's summary)
