"Nelson Pyles is a one-of-a-kind author. With clever characters and reliably creepy concepts, he knows his way around the horror genre. Don't miss out on his stories; you're going to love them." - Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens and The Haunting of Velkwood
Some steps will lead you home,
While some will lead away.
Some steps will help you sometimes go,
And some will make you stay
Some steps will make you broadly smile
And some will make you frown
Some steps can lift you all the way up, but
All these steps lead down...
A man is trapped in a dark place for which there is no escape. A prisoner and a tormentor blur their roles in a dank chamber. A grandmother plays for keeps against Death herself in a test of wills. A flavored protein powder becomes a new Eldritch God in the making. A serial murderer goes home for Christmas for a different kind of carol, and there's a very different werewolf love story...
The second collection from Nelson W Pyles also features previously unreleased essays, a radio play, and a story co-written with author Scarlett R. Algee in print for the first time. Some steps go up, but all these steps lead down...
