A gumball machine dispenses something far more sinister—and sweeter—than candy. Lessons don't always have to be taught in school. You never know what you'll find at the end of a dark hallway… A serial killer reminisces over his last victim. An Irish-American man come to terms with the legacy he leaves, thanks to the ancestral apparition that has haunted his family for centuries. Some relationships leave scars that linger even beyond death. When a Victorian actor's career comes to a sudden end due to a flare-up of gout during an opening-night performance at the Delphi Theatre, he is left with only one chance to exact revenge on the inflexible house manager. Stalked by shadows, a woman prowls the darkened halls of her longtime home. Her body found mutilated down the tin mines and pursued by her step sister, she scratches her hooks against the wall as her classmates disappear. Some curses are eternal and unbreakable. Inertia—a property of matter in which something moves at a set speed and direction until made to change by another force. After his dark soul took to the soil, evil plagued the roots of the family tree. Houses aren't the only places that can be haunted... A man hunches over a workbench, a basket of tiny birds chirping nearby, wondering if the sky is still blue. Charlie's luck turns around when a storm rolls in, but things aren't always as they seem when you find love on the sea. In the center of a once-beautiful, now derelict forest, the trees aren't the only things that are dead. Sometimes, till death do us part is just not enough. Proudly brought to you by Crystal Lake Publishing—Tales from the Darkest Depths.
