Do you have what it takes to look beyond the now and peer into the darkness? Hop on the roller coaster of evil with these five tales.

"Laurel Mountain": Frank Daggets is a simple plumber living a simple life. His only problem is his irrational fear of asylums. When the crappers stop up at Laurel Mountain Sanitarium, Frank has to plunge into his fear head-on.

"Bellum Sacrum": Wil Wheaton always said, “Don’t be a dick.” Have you ever seen what happens when the victim has had enough? When Mark finally loses control, his soul is in jeopardy.  

"The Storm": 1992. Hurricane Andrew is rushing for the Florida coast. The Hampton kids are home alone, and their mom should have been home by now. The local church is offering its use for shelter, but not for the reason you think.

"The Perfect Present": Christmas is a time for love and gifts. When Darren gets his gifts from mom, it pushes him over the edge. Let the slay ride begin!  

"I Was a Legend": Rock’s hottest new band Raging Wrath hits Las Vegas. The party is on. When lead singer Tyler needs a break from the madness, he stumbles upon a fortune teller, and all his dreams come true.
