Sinopsis

Highways in Hiding concerns ESP and a disease that turns men into stones or supermen. This is set against the plot of a secret society that is harboring people that are infected with a space-borne illness called Mekstrom's Disease. People get infected and it slowly turns them into a sort of rock. The hardening begins at one of the extremities such as a finger or toe and slowly begins to creep up the infected limb. Eventually all the extremities are hardening and the disease makes its way to the body proper. At this point, the body is hardened until the vitals fail and the patient dies. A secret society has found a cure for the infected, but, in order to hide themselves from the public at large they have devised a hidden highway program that leads the infected to "Mekstrom safe-houses" of sorts.

    "The Temple" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1920, and first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales #24 in September 1925.
    The story is narrated as a "found manuscript" penned by Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, a lieutenant-commander in the Imperial German Navy during the days of World War I. Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to "set certain facts" before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself.

    Since the beginning of human interaction, there have been storytellers who have spun tales to inspire and capture the imagination. In homage to Golding's Lord of the Flies and the act of flinging a gauntlet before a duel, these two writers, Gordon Bonnet, and Marlon S. Hayes, have shown their multi-genre talents. 
    Two guys in a bar, grandmas, fathers and sons, and myths are a few of the themes in this collection, and the results are noteworthy, entertaining, and soul filling. What if an opportunity arose to have a conversation with one's younger self? Or, what if the pictures on the wall started whispering warnings? Ever imagined how an orc might view humans? What about an epic road trip across America's heartland where anger and grief also ride along? Exactly. 
    It's a duel of well-written short stories, with each writer inspiring the other to continue to ascend with their storytelling skills. It's not a competition, simply an acknowledgement of each other's talents.

    Grief brought her to Portland. The dead are keeping her there. 
     
    Still grieving the sudden loss of her husband, she agrees to travel with Sue and Tanya to Portland, Oregon, to help a wealthy businessman whose brother has vanished during the renovation of a historic carriage house. 
     
    The building is beautiful. 
     
    It’s profitable. 
     
    And it sits above something far darker than anyone expected. 
     
    As the women begin their investigation, they uncover whispers of the Shanghai Tunnels—an underground network once used to traffic and imprison unsuspecting men who were forced onto ships bound for foreign shores. When restless energy surges through the carriage house and desperate voices echo beneath the streets, it becomes clear that the past has not been laid to rest. 
     
    But the danger isn’t only underground. 
     
    Ellen must confront her own grief, her complicated attraction to the building’s enigmatic owner, and the possibility that his brother’s disappearance is tied to something far more sinister than ghosts. 
     
    To solve this mystery, the women of Ghost Healers, Inc. will have to descend into the city’s buried history—where freedom was stolen, lives were traded, and some spirits are still fighting to be heard. 
     
    Because not every tunnel leads out.
