Synopsis: Discover Crossfades and Bleedovers, a pair of dystopian novellas in the same vein of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Dean Koontz. From an author who “never lets up” (Publishers Weekly), this gripping ebook bundle features a nightmarish hellscape that will be heaven for horror fans.
There’s only one thing standing between humanity and the dark forces of the supernatural: the secret agency known as The Institute. The organization depends on regular guys like Chuck Grainger, a Recon and Enforcement Technician who guides tormented spirits into the next life. From an office deep underground, Chuck projects his spirit into Crossfades, monstrous realms where the souls of the dead, unable to move on due to fear or anger, devise macabre tortures for themselves and one another. He’s always been able to leave his work behind at the end of the day—until now. Because Chuck’s work is coming after him.
