You will be thrown into a place where the living dead are commonplace, and the darkness surrounding you is filled with things best left unseen. Pain will become pleasure and hate will turn into love, and it will all be discovered on a transmuted landscape where nothing is as it seems. Welcome to the dark. Welcome to Dead Offerings. Pray you come out whole on the other side

Years have passed since the dead first began to walk, and the world is a very different place. Gone are the luxuries man once enjoyed, to be replaced with a want for basic necessities, such as food, clothing, shelter, and of course, safety from the walking dead. At a time when the survivors of the land believe the undead scourge is almost over, as the dead begin to fade away, a new threat rises from out of the Nevada desert. A lone zombie has appeared with the power to control the undead, and this thinking, reasoning ghoul has a hate for mankind that has rarely been seen before. Gathering the living dead to him, this zombie king begins to sweep across the state, absorbing every town and enclave he comes across, killing the inhabitants and turning them into zombies so they can join his dead army. Henry Watson and his warrior survivalists discover the threat of the zombie king before they reach the next town in their travels, where the group tries desperately to convince the town leaders of their dire fate. But when the dead army arrives and surrounds the town, causing an unending siege that will result in the death of every living human being within its walls, it will be up to Henry to risk all for his friends and the human race. If he fails, there will be no stopping the dead army before it wipes humanity from the planet, leaving nothing but the dead to inherit the earth. In a world filled with the living dead, you can either fight or die.

Clowns. They're supposed to be happy, full of laughter and fun, but there's a dark underside to these masked harlequins, one hidden under all that makeup and colorful hair. Who hasn't stared at a clown and become frightened, a chill running down your backside when that clown turned his cold gaze on you? Who hasn't felt a flutter of fear when that painted face grinned over at you, the smile seeming to be hiding something evil? Clowns have been around for ages, and though supposedly filled with cheer, there is something sinister behind all that pomp and fluff. A fear of clowns is ingrained in all of us, some more than others, and in this anthology, that fear has been extrapolated on like a cut torn open to expose the bleeding wound within. So get ready for stories that show the clown in a new light, one where the painted mask of happiness has been wiped away, leaving only terror behind.

In a city filled with costumed villains, one man will strive to make a difference. Trained in martial arts and with an arsenal of weapons to due battle, the dark figure known only as the Cowl will stop any foe who wants to hurt, steal or murder his fellow citizens. Zombies, werewolves and giant robots are just some of the dangers he will face, and the Cowl would gladly give his life to save those he's vowed to protect. But when a man battles evil every day, and though his own moral code is strong, is it possible that no matter how powerful his willpower, in the end he may become that which he seeks to destroy?

If unsure, then delve into these pages of terror and unlock your innermost fears.

No one knows who first dropped the bombs, or released the first nuclear warheads, and no one probably will. Not that it matters. In the blink of an eye, the modern world was destroyed, leaving behind a wasteland of death and destruction. Electricity, cable television, and restaurants, all gone in an instant, to be replaced by a lawless planet filled with cannibals, slavers and mutants-lost souls who were too close to the initial blasts and are now nothing but feral animals that walk upright, with seeping open wounds that cover them from head to toe. Hank Summers was one of the survivors, a hard man who adapted quickly to the new world. With his companions, Laurie, Stewart and Carl, they travel the nukescape, searching for something better on the horizon. A new dark age has dawned with the hope that tomorrow may bring salvation to the survivors, but after the apocalypse, hope may not be enough.

Long after the world ended, the survivors crawled out into the light to find that humans were no longer the dominant species. Whether it was from radiation, genetic mutation or something only imagined in nightmares, new creatures now walked the planet, most seeking human flesh or perhaps wanting to make mankind bow to their will. Mutants of all kinds were everywhere: some covered with scales, others dripping slime, or an amalgamation of multiple species, such as one with the head of a goat, gills instead of lungs, and six limbs instead of two. At the end of the world, there will not only be death and destruction, there will be an apocalypse like none would have ever dared dream. A mutant apocalypse When the end comes, that is when mankind's suffering will truly begin.

A cave-in inside the Boston subway unleashes something that should have stayed buried forever, and the hapless passengers on the subway soon find themselves battling for their lives in the pitch darkness. Will they survive to see the sunlight again? Or will they be forever trapped underground.

The world is a very different place now. The dead walk the land and humans hide in small towns with walls of stone and debris for protection, constantly keeping the living dead at bay. Social law is gone and right and wrong is defined by the size of your gun. DEAD TOWN: Henry Watson and his band of warrior survivalists become guests in a fortified town in Michigan. But when the kidnapping of one of the companions goes bad and men die, the group finds themselves on the wrong side of the law, and a town out for blood. Trapped in a hotel, surrounded on all sides, it will be up to Henry to save the day with a gamble that may not only take his life, but that of his friends as well. In a dead world, when justice is not enough, there is always vengeance. HOMEWARD BOUND: When Henry finds himself only a hundred miles from his family home, he can't resist the urge to return, the rest of the companions joining him. Once there, memories of the past haunt both him and the rest of the group as past mistakes are brought to the surface. When one of the group becomes seriously wounded and in need of life-saving medication, it will be up to Henry to travel into a zombie-infested town to search for supplies. The stakes have never been higher, for if he fails, not only will one of his team lose their life, but no doubt, he will lose his as well. In the world of the dead, a man can bluff, but he better be willing to lay down his cards when Death calls his hand.

Safe for the moment in their hidden haven on the top floor of the zombie-filled mall, things quickly go from bad to worse before any of them realize it when one of the group becomes bitten by a zombie. But it's not all bad. The mall has a video store full of porn And more food in the shops than any of them could ever eat. Plus loads of clothes and other valuable items it would take a lifetime to afford.

With long thin tails, beady eyes and usually carriers of plagues, rats are one of the most reviled creatures on the planet. And for good reason. Vicious in the extreme, rats will go to great lengths to find food and have no qualms about feeding on human flesh if there is a need. Imagine being trapped in the sewers of New York while all around you are hundreds of rats, their hungry eyes watching and waiting for a chance to attack. Or maybe you find yourself in a garbage dump and are helpless, and as night begins to fall, the rats come out to feed...on you. While digging a grave in a cemetery, the rats are there, waiting for a chance to pounce. Or one dark night, the rats enter your house while you sleep, to then swarm over you while you lay helpless in bed. These are the stuff of nightmares, of horrors best left in the dark. Welcome to Rat War, where the battle to survive may not always be the outcome you might expect, and where the worst enemy may be your own fear.
