    Born in the beautiful paradise island of Sri Lanka, a realm of fantasy and magic, I was drawn to the world of storytelling at a young age. Constantly drifting off from reality into the world of make-believe and wonder. To be free from the mundane and ritualistic. It felt a natural step to put all those escapades down on print.

Excellent Anthology for lovers of horror
I've written before that anthologies are hard to rate. I generally rate each story and take the average. The majority of these stories are an easy 4. Thankfully, there were no one or twos in my opinion. My favorite story was the final piece: Favourite Son by Gab Halasz, but Thirsty by Jensen Reed was a close second.I highly recommend this anthology for lovers of horror. These bite-size stories are perfect to get your adrenaline going.*Heads-up warning: there is zombie-style cannibalism, animal harm and language if any of that bothers you.

I took a 'look inside' and of course! The first sentence grabbed me violently about the neck, demanded I come up with the 0.99 or else. Now I'm poorer yet somehow richer for the experience.
Marvelous, suspenseful writing. Among the world's greatest bargains at 99 cents. Each story is written by a master of the story-telling art. The world is better for these stories having been written. The publication of this work is the literary event of the year, if not the decade.

I bought this as a recommendation. For 99 cents I couldn't say no. Every story reels you in. Even though the theme of this book is survival, I must say I had fun reading this book (yes each story does have its intense moments too). I have to say I highly recommend reading this book. Great stories and an amazing price!

The short stories in this book are just fantastic and jaw dropping! The 2nd story “thirsty” was a real cliff hanger... and all I can think about is, “what happened to Micah”... you just can’t help but feel as if you’re part of the book! It’s literally a page turned from start to end!

All the stories in this collection are inventive, fun, and expertly crafted. The mood goes from terrifying to hilarious and back. I for one, will keep an eye out for future work from each one of these authors. Great work guys. This was a super fun read.
