Set during a time when tall ships roamed the oceans and creatures lurked in the dark depths, this collection of tales ranges from the reign of pirates to the Age of Napoleon to the present.
Two novella-length tales of the twisted and the bizarre...the frightening and the deranged...the mad and the macabre... KUTTER by Jeff Strand: Charlie, a vicious, heartless serial killer, takes home a stray Boston Terrier he finds in a park. Can this dog make him into a better person? REMAINS by Michael McBride: The discovery of human remains prompts a new search for seven missing theology students. To learn what happened, their families must recreate their final days and decipher a series of cryptic clues, but nothing can prepare them for the truth. [McBride] desplays pitch-perfect pacing and creates interesting, believable characters, resulting in a tale that's gripping and yet at times also philosophical." -- Robert Morrish, Cemetery Dance "Jeff Strand beautifully crafts a heart-wrenching tale of a man and his dog...and his unquenchable thirst for murder." -- Desmond Reddick, Dread Media

Man versus Nature. In the 70s and 80s, animals ruled. Anacondas, piranha, giant crocodiles/alligators/lizards, mutated bears near nuclear power stations, prehistoric sharks all featured heavily in books and films, when bio-horror was at its modern peak. This anthology of military-bio-horror stories is inspired by those classic days. Think Greg McLean’s Rogue, Lake Placid, Eight-legged Freaks, Anaconda, Meg, Prophecy, Deep Blue Sea, and other films/books where people (in this case soldiers) are fighting against mutated, weird, or ultra-dangerous animals. Join some of the best writers working today, along with some SNAFU favourites, for an unnaturally good time. TOC: 1. Here There Be Monsters - Dave Beynon 2. Unborn - Justin Bell 3.
