It starts with a single thread. Something strange you catch in the corner of your eye. Something following you in the shadows. Things that once slept are awakening. No one else sees them. No one believes. But once it all unravels, everyone will know. This trip down the trails of madness features short horror suspense stories by Alexander Gordon Smith, Maxwell Alexander Drake, Eric Bishop, McKel Jensen, Tim Keller, Mike Nelson, TJ Tarbet, Gabriel Taylor, Isaac Timm, Chadd VanZanten, and E.

AWARD-WINNING SHORT FICTIONA brief survey of the techniques employed by friends, relatives, lovers, and even strangers to drive us to exasperation, desperation, ecstasy, and acrimony, The Key To This Whole Entire Thing is populated by personalities you already know, love, and despise, brought to live in a discursive collection of connected short stories.

With remote waterways and unpressured trout, Wyoming's Wind River Range is the backcountry fly angler's mecca. In the alpine lakes and streams, trout may approach a dry fly two or more at a time, and an angler can cast for days without seeing another person, let alone another angler. But more than just a place to catch lots of fish, the range is also a place to disconnect from noise and networks and reconnect with oneself. In a series of essays on misfortunate father-and-son backpacking trips, disaffected Boy Scouts, psychotropic deep-woods epiphanies and many other topics, author Chadd VanZanten offers not only a survey of the fishing and history of the Wind Rivers but a tour of personal landscapes as well.

It's the feeling that something isn't quite right. The glance of a stranger that lingers too long. A coworker who appears out of nowhere. Creep Factor is thirteen deeply creepy short horror stories that explore the awkward, unnerving, and the terrifying. From backstabbing roommates to vicious pets, from murderous spirits to soul-wracking nightmares, Creep Factor covers the savagely weird to the merely ghastly.

Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a pastime more emblematic of the western spirit than fly-fishing. Liberating, poetic, wild, soothing and inspiring, it pushes the boundaries of the mind. In essays ranging from introspective to ironic, angler authors Chadd VanZanten and Russ Beck distill the purest truths of fly-fishing into essential, often humorous rules of thumb. With kernels like "always tell the truth sometimes" and "all the fish are underwater," wade into the blue ribbon waters of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah to reflect metaphysically on these lines of practical wisdom.
