From Wonderland Award-Winning author Sam Richard comes twelve more uncomfortable tales of sorrow, ruination, and transformation.
A young widow joins a spousal loss support group with bizarre methods of healing. An aging punk is stalked by something ancient and familiar in the labyrinthian halls of an art complex. A couple renting out a small movie theatre are interrupted by a corrosive force of nature. Through these stories of weird horror and visceral sorrow, Richard shows us ways grief can be transcendent-but only if we know which rituals to practice.
Something for everyone, but it will be triggering for some, especially those with recent, or deep relationships with grief. So, proceed with caution but, dare I say it, as upsetting as some of these tales can be, there is opportunity for catharsis and peace within them as well.

Dark Mark Writing 
Thanks for posting this Mark, certainly a slightly different angle on horror, in marrying it up with grief, which, as anyone who has been through the process, knows its pretty horrific itself. It’s interesting you mention the author found writing this quite cathartic, almost, it seems, as a form of counselling? Certainly if anybody feels they have the ability, or even if they don’t, expression of feelings in writing can be helpful, whether it be a journal, horror story or career defying pop album record thing?
