    The world is dead, devoured by a plague of reanimated corpses. 
     
    Cahz and his squad of veteran soldiers are tasked with flying into abandoned cities and retrieving zombies for scientific study. Deep in infected territory, hundreds of miles from their support vessel, the ever-present dangers weigh heavily on Cahz’s mind as he shepherds his team to make quick, clean extractions. 
     
    Then the unbelievable happens. After years of encountering nothing but the undead, the team discovers a handful of disheveled survivors in a fortified warehouse with dwindling supplies.

Welcome to Little Monsters, a collection of short stories united only by their celebration of the macabre. Meet Ginnie, a little girl whose Halloween escapades get somewhat out of hand.

Be warned… if you are of a nervous disposition… if you are of a fanciful nature… if you're the kind who sometimes imagines you can hear footsteps downstairs in the dead of night… these adult stories are not for you.

    The Kybalion  is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.
    While it shares with ancient and medieval Hermetic texts a number of traits such as philosophical mentalism, the concept of 'as above, so below', and the idea that everything consists of gendered polar opposites, as a whole it is more indebted to the ideas of modern occultist authors, especially those of the New Thought movement to which Atkinson belonged. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.
