Prayers to Broken Stones
A woman returns from the dead with disastrous results for the family who loves her... An old-fashioned barbershop is the site of a medieval ritual of bloody terror... During a post-apocalyptic Christmas celebration, a messenger from the South brings tidings of great horror...
From a ghostly Civil War battlefield to a combat theme park in Vietnam, from the omnipotent brain of an autistic boy to a shocking story of psychic vampires, journey into a world of fear and mystery, a chilling twilight zone of the mind.
