Troubled Scott meets Nikolaos Apollyon, a mysterious being who could almost have been drawn from Scott's dark imagination itself. A deal was struck one year ago between the two and now it's time for Scott to pay his debt.

A chilling anthology of six stories where ordinary lives spiral into terror as unseen threats close in from every side. Each tale unravels a different nightmare lurking beneath everyday life—predators, captors, dark bargains, and sinister strangers hiding in plain sight. As reality slips, every character is forced to confront the danger they never saw coming.

Two strangers, drawn inexorably to the Scottish West coast, meet in Oban and begin a relationship. Connie intends to return to America, a place she once called home, and David has an important career to follow. Is the bond they’ve made strong enough to keep them together? Or are they to be ships that pass in the night?
