My friends are being slaughtered one by one. Decapitated. Burned alive. Chopped to pieces. The hooded killer has vowed to keep murdering people I care about until they're all dead, their profile pics on social media replaced with photos of their mutilated bodies. The police can't catch him. They have no leads. The horror is making the visions come back-the fire that took my parents, leaving my twin Alex and me alive, but broken. The hooded killer won't stop until I'm completely shattered. He'll eat away at my mind, heart, and soul until there's nothing left. No one left to love, no one left to trust, and nothing I can be sure is real. Dr. Cross thinks a trip back to the place my parents died will stop the visions. Alex is afraid it's a trap. But I know the hooded killer won't hurt me. That's not his game. His game is much deeper. Much darker.

In 2009, Warrington RLFC reached the nadir of their long-term, chronic underachievement, prompting one fan to write to the local newspaper questioning the players' commitment. He signed the letter "Spirit of '55'"—a reference to the year the club were last champions. Results began to improve dramatically, with back-to-back Challenge Cup wins followed by a League Leader's Shield, but still no championship. Spirit of '55 follows Warrington's quest to become champions in 2012, as seen through the eyes of their most passionate fan. But are the team cursed by the town's expectations, and the ghost of '55? Laced with terrace humor and tempered by the expert eye of a professional coach, the team's record of failure and the "curse of hope" will strike a chord with all sports fans. The book builds to the climax of the play-offs where one team will achieve glory. But will it be Warrington?

In the spirit of classic sci-fi/fantasy/horror short story collections such as Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man and Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes, we welcome you to the inaugural edition of the Aberrant Literature Short Fiction Collection, a periodic anthology compiling five of the best and most creative original Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror stories from across the country. Whether attending an intergalactic tournament of champions on a far-away planet, being whisked away to a fantastical land where humans have inexplicably been turned to stone, or joining a young reporter in New York city as his attraction to a mermaid-shaped swizzle stick quickly turns to obsession, each of the five stories in this first volume of the Aberrant Literature Short Fiction Collection is certain to provide you the unique and exciting experience that is lacking from the current literary landscape. None of these stories have been released before, and are exclusive to the Aberrant Literature Short Fiction Collection. Be sure to stay on the lookout for future collections, and we hope that you will continue to join us on our journey as we search the country for the most creative and imaginative short fiction on the horizon.
