Alone? In the Dark? Afraid? You will be if you read these stories. Things are not what they seem. Not what a reasonable person would expect. Fear is contagious. Turn the light on. Check the security. Get a dog. Trust no one. Not strangers; not your loved ones; not even yourself. Speculative fiction: fear of the unknown; fear of the known; strangers on a dark road; strangers who live in your street; strangers who live in your home. Beware.
