Recently divorced and staring down the barrel of moving back in
with her parents, Carrot really needs a break. And a place to live.
So when her Uncle Earl, owner of the eclectic Wonder Museum, asks
her to stay with him in exchange for cataloguing the exhibits, of
course she says yes. The Wonder Museum is packed with taxidermy,
shrunken heads, and an assortment of Mystery Junk. For Carrot, it's
not creepy at all: she grew up with it. What's creepy is the hole
that's been knocked in one of the museum walls, and the corridor
behind it. There's just no space for a corridor in the museum's
thin walls - or the concrete bunker at the end of it, or the
strange islands beyond the bunker's doors, or the whispering,
unseen things lurking in the willow trees. Carrot has stumbled into
a strange and horrifying world, and They are watching her. Strewn
among the islands are the remains of Their meals - and Their
experiments. And even if she manages to make it back home again,
she can't stop calling Them after her...
Shark. Tarantula. Sharkantula. When a genetically modified
tarantula finds itself loose in the Great White shark exhibit at
Shark World, the feisty arachnid sinks its fangs into the main
attraction. Without warning, the Great White mutates into
Sharkantula and the opening day show turns deadly. The mutated
shark/tarantula hybrid is hungry and ready to feast upon the flesh
of those that don't run away fast enough to escape her webbing.
Desperate to stop the carnage, a group of Shark World employees
join forces with the tarantula's keeper in an effort to stop the
devastation before Sharkantula can escape the confines of the
aquatic theme park and spread her terror across the United States.
Repercussions of one's actions are often not realized for many
moons. Usually, such retorts result in minor inconveniences that
merely mar the soul and bruise one's pride. However, when
repercussions run afoul, evil in its purest form reveals her
damning desire to push one over the edge. These are those stories.
Repercussions run Rampant, tales of revenge, regret, and
retribution. No one is safe as the darkness within guides one's
will and chooses the path to follow.

The armistice is months past but the memories won't go away. 'A
harlequin, leaning against a tree stump and with a goblet of ale
clasped in one outstretched hand. Beaumont felt chilled suddenly,
in spite of the fire...Most likely it was the thing's mouth,
red-lipped and fiendishly grinning, or maybe its face, which was
white, expressionless, the face of a clown in full greasepaint.'
Dennis Beaumont drove an ambulance in World War One. He returns
home to London, hoping to pick up his studies at Oxford and
rediscover the love he once felt for his fiancee Lucy. But nothing
is as it once was. Mentally scarred by his experiences in the
trenches, Beaumont finds himself wandering further into darkness.
What really happened to the injured soldier he tried to save? Who
is the figure that lurks in the shadows? How much do they know of
Beaumont, and the secrets he keeps?
