Demon Dance: Dark Tales to Rattle the Psyche / Vanessa Ravel

Sometimes what keeps us awake isn’t the things that go “bump” in the night, but the thoughts that say…

…oh God please forgive me sweet Jesus I did what I had to do

A family trip to the forest to cut down a live Christmas tree turns into a living nightmare. A grieving mother undergoes a terrifying transformation after taking a memento from her daughter’s body. A bedridden widow can hear the thoughts of plants, and they aren’t pleasant. And a struggling painter will stop at nothing to claw his way to the top of the art world, even if it means losing himself in his art. These are just some of the tales of woe and spite that will gnaw at your psyche and make you do the Demon Dance.
