E. M. Fitch

The world exists in a continuous layering of events. Moments and actions, words and touches, separate and distinct realities; they are all playing over each other, stacked on top of one another, vying for importance in the confided little spaces they?ve been allotted. Ghosts exist, but not as you may imagine. Goblins are real, and more terrifying than you?d believe. Ghouls are coming for you, and they are hungry. Do you dare to separate the folds of time? Do you dare to pull back The Veil? A new and completely original short story collection by E. M. Fitch.

Sometimes the most horrifying monsters live within us. What horrors lurk within a broken mind when left unattended? From alternate personalities to figments of the imagination, our stories will give you a new outlook on the complexity of the human mind. Follow our authors into the madness ... if you dare.
