Thirteen newly collected encounters with darkness from Adrian Ludens, the author Ant Farm Necropolis and Cobwebs: Tales of Dread and Disquiet.

In the weird western novelette "Bottled Spirits," Truman Bonner sets out to rescue his wife, Helena, from ruthless outlaws and personal demons. He and his son, Isaac, face a series of harrowing supernatural ordeals and before the family is reunited, more than one of them may have made a deal with the devil.

Margo lives in a society where people remove organs and amputate limbs to celebrate growing older. Her world is shattered when her new boyfriend makes a shocking request in "Reduced to Tears."

The trickster god Iktomi helps, hinders, and terrorizes a pioneer youth who's trying to solve the gruesome murders of a neighboring family in "The Sodbuster and the Spider."

These, and ten other macabre stories, wait within.

"One of the finest authors writing dark fiction today, Adrian Ludens spins the horrors of history and the heartland into a web of unforgettable chills and shadows." —James Chambers, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of On the Night Border and On the Hierophant Road.

"BOTTLED SPIRITS charges head first into terror from the opening paragraphs and never turns the reader loose. This heart pounding read is best devoured in daylight." —Sandra Brannan, Author of the Liv Bergen Mystery Series
