  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. 
   
  When light fails and the shadows form, evening trails into inky darkness and a malevolent world takes ethereal shape within our minds then our reasoning is somehow suspended as though hijacked by forces that our authors offer us and we greedily accept. 
   
  In this volume ten of our most cunning authors offer up wares with malevolent purpose and diabolical intent.

  One drunken dumpster make-out session can lead to the occult if you're not careful... 
  WARNING: DO NOT CONSUME. At least that is Logan Cook's message after an unfortunate visit to the farmers' market. He's an unemployed, former druggie who finds himself wrapped up in a cult's sinister plan, all rooting from one unfortunate meeting with a pale goth girl at the back of a bar. 
  His infatuation with these mysterious cloaked people blooms when he connects the dots leading back to the infamous 4-20 Drain case, where his ex-girlfriend was murdered. Poor Logan never did recover from that incident. 
  Who are these people? Are they really connected to his ex-girlfriend's death? Logan's life is on a timer. He's best to find some answers. 
  Praise for the first edition of Seed Me: 
  "Konn Lavery has obvious talent, and his Seed Me book belongs on the shelf next to King and Koontz. Great creep factor, awesome pace, refreshing bad guys, and the ability to stay with you after you're done. Do Consume Seed Me " 
  - scifiandscary.com 
  "This gives Lavery his own edge in the industry and a new voice that could make people think differently about storylines."
