  Miles, a lead creative at a midsize virtual reality company known for its "original experiences," has engineered a new product called The Ghost Lover. Wildly popular from the outset, the "game" is simple: a user's simulated life is almost identical to their reality, except they're haunted by the ghost of an ex-lover. However, when a shift in the company's strategic vision puts The Ghost Lover at the center of a platform-wide controversy, Miles becomes the target of user outrage, and starts receiving a series of anonymous death threats. Typed notes sealed in envelopes with no postage or return address, these persistent threats push Miles into a paranoid panic, blurring his own sense of reality, catalyzing the collapse of his career, his marriage, and his relationship with his children. 
   
   
   
  The once-promising road to success becomes a narrow set of choices for Miles, who, in a last ditch effort to save his job, pitches his masterpiece, a revolutionary device code-named the Egg, which will transform the company. 
   
   
   
  In a world rife with the unchecked power and ambition of tech, Users investigates—with both humor and creeping dread—how interpersonal experiences and private decisions influence the hasty developments that have the power to permanently alter the landscape of human experience.

  Ed Loyce lives a happy and normal life is a happy and normal small town in mid America.   But today something strange happens.  In the late evening, on his way to work at his TV sales and repair shop he passes the tiny one block park in the middle of town and sees something hanging from the only lamp post, something big, almost like a body.  Of course it must be something else, probably an ad of some sort or a joke.  Not able to discern exactly what it is in the dusk, he parks and walks toward it.  It is a body, a human body, a very dead human body of someone he has never seen before.  But no one else in town seems to notice it at all.  The strangeness and horror grow and expand as he slowly understands why this body was put there.

  No talking, stay out of the shadows, don't go out at night, survive… 
  Fin Vee is the chief hangman's daughter at the Church of Hangmen. Everyone has high hopes for her to continue the witch ritual that keeps the Berkano vampires away. When she steps on stage to sacrifice the little girl with the dazzling blue eyes, and doesn't, the Berkano come fast and furious to demand their sacrifice.  
  The only safe place is within the walls of the Church, but the Church casts Fin out, leaving her only with the annoyingly silent Hendry to guide her.  
  The Berkano only speak telepathically, so speaking out loud in the city's streets is a death sentence. But as Fin discovers the truth about her beloved city and her Church, she finds she has a lot to say. And so do her new allies: a band of cowboy witches intent on overthrowing the Berkano, whatever the risk may be.  
  Even if that risk is death. 
  BLOOD SONG is a standalone contribution to the Fallen Sorcery Berkano Vampire collection. Stories can be read in any order.

  4 Short Horror StoriesStory 1: The Bogey HoleOn the Marston Estate, there is a small door. Little more than a normal shed attached to a normal council house on a normal estate.
