15 year old Damen Masche is a professional underachiever. Despite being surrounded by overachievers made up of his family and friends, he has chosen to live in the background, making himself appear to be as unreliable as possible and avoiding any responsibility coming his way. However, during a meteor shower, a relic that has traveled through space and time falls into his town of Clarity, Mississippi and Damen is caught in its fiery impact. He later awakens in a hospital bed with his memories shattered, strange tattoos covering his arm, and fleeting visions of a burning citadel against an otherworldly sky. , he finds himself on the edge of a coming cosmic conflict thousands of years in the making. But before Damen can make sense of his bizarre situation, his town comes under the attack of fearsome creatures looking to lay claim to the relic. Thus begins a race against time as Damen struggles to remember what happened on the night that the stars fell. Damen will have to overcome all of his self imposed insecurities and break his limits if he is to ensure that his family, friends, and all of Clarity, live to see another dawn.

We all lose something... We lose many things during our time in this universe. From the moment we are born we start losing time, and loss becomes a part of our life from the beginning. We lose friends (both imaginary and real), loved ones, pets, and family. We gain stuff and lose stuff, from our socks to our money. We can lose our hope, sanity, passions, our mind, and perhaps even our soul! In the end when death finds us, we end up losing everything... Don't we? "Tales of the Lost'' takes a dark look at the things we lose and the ghosts we struggle with. Featuring haunting stories from critically acclaimed masters of horror F. Paul Wilson, Tim Waggoner, Lisa Morton, Yvonne Navarro, David Wellington, Lee Murray, Stephen Graham Jones, Jess Landry, John Palisano, Chris Mason, Paul Moore, Eric J. Guignard, Jeff Strand, Ben Monroe, Christina Sng, and Kevin J. Anderson. With an introduction by S.G. Browne and a specially commissioned cover by Francois Vaillancourt. Also featuring interior artwork from horror master Luke Spooner! "Eugene Johnson and Steve Dillon have curated a meditative literary journey into the land of the lost - both in the literal and metaphorical sense. From the toll of personal failures and the enduring scars of unprocessed grief to the ravages of time and all it takes in its merciless wake, the assemblage of writers gathered for this deeply affecting and chilling collection of tales brings with them their finest interpretations of what it means to lose - and how easy it is to become lost ourselves!" -Vince A. Liaguno, Bram Stoker Award(TM) -winning editor of Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet

The title says it all. Who would think love could be so... dangerous? A mix of poetry and short fiction - love found, love lost, love experienced in ways you never imagined. Weird and macabre, sometimes humorous, often terrifying, these tales - presented by an international line up of authors - will make your heart skip a beat. Each story is a dance with love, sometimes with death as its partner. Britain's most respected living horror writer Ramsey Campbell has said of this magazine-sized charity book of short stories:- "A fine anthology for a fine cause. Invest your imagination in it and you'll be investing in the world as well." "Burning Love and Bleeding Hearts" is a collection of dark Valentine's Day tales; a charity anthology to raise funds for the Australian bush-fire victims, and ALL sale proceeds will be donated to the Australian Red Cross. Thank you for buying, and hope you enjoy these stories, all for a great cause!! - Louise Zedda-Sampson and Chris Mason (editors).
