My story ‘Mask of the Vampire’ is featured in this anthology.
From the dark corners of ordinary lives to the bright lights where shadows lurk, these tales offer an array of gripping explorations, both of depravity as well as the relentless quest for survival. Witness dark characters who camouflage their true selves with a mask of normalcy to navigate through society, and others who are forced to adopt a facade as their only refuge against a cruel world.
Can you see through the masks that people wear, before it's too late? Join us on this thrilling journey into the heart of human darkness.
