  Alex Peterson, aka Scar, doesn’t know many details about his past. He doesn’t know why two aliens took his mother away, he doesn’t know why two other aliens killed his father, and he doesn’t know how he got the scar on his face—the one that occasionally turns him into a murderous monster. 
  He lives on the streets of Neetro City with his partner Christine Summers, and together, they steal the things they need to survive. But life as usual is disrupted when Alex is taken by a man in a suit and brought to the Assassination Police Department, who gives him an ultimatum: Join them and help to eliminate the dangerous people who terrorize Neetro City, or die. 
  But what they don’t know is that sometimes Alex is one of those “dangerous people”. How long will he be able to keep that a secret? 
  This book contains language, violence, and suggestive themes, as well as references to child abuse, sexual assault, sexual slavery, and alcoholism.

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume stories from the Masters of Horror take centre stage.  Within the words from the pens of Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, Margaret Oliphant, Mary Butts and others lurk dark intentions of evil.   As each story draws you in, so it is that uneasy, unsettling feelings begin to creep into our heads.  It’s only a matter of time before things go decidedly from bad to much, much worse.

  Enjoy this short story by Mace Styx. 
  George heaved a great sigh, dragging a hand over his face. 
  “Rebecca…do you recall when your mother was pregnant with Orin?” he asked. “I don’t suppose you do.” 
  Rebecca frowned in thought, then shook her head. 
  “Not very well,” she said. “I would have only been around eight years old at the time. But I remembered she was bedridden during the last couple of months, wasn’t she?” 
  “She nearly died.” George replied, and Amelia visibly flinched. Clearly, she remembered that time far better than Rebecca did. “She would have died, and perhaps Orin too… if I had not made a bargain with the fae.” 
  Rebecca gasped. 
  “The fae?” she said, her face going white. “But that’s – father, they’re so dangerous! You can’t trust them!”
