Then come the messages, the flickering lights, the chilling voice that knows her better than anyone should. As her reality unravels and her audience clamors for more, Lila struggles to decipher what’s real, what’s residual grief, and what was accidentally summoned from the deepest corners of her own psyche.With her sanity on the line and her digital life spiraling out of control, Lila must confront the one ghost she’s never been able to lay to rest—herself.But when the boundaries between her thoughts and the entity’s voice begin to blur, the question isn’t just whether she can stop it...It’s whether she wants to.What do you do when the only voice you can’t escape is your own?

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Nathaniel Hawthorne, Robert...

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 Horror and its evil intents try to burrow into our heads and cavort around as only demons, monsters, phantoms and ghosts can do. They probably have other partners and friends too. And you, sitting there all alone, and listening….. oh dear.
