Pieces
Dennis Sweeney did the unthinkable: he stalked a local woman, abducted her, divided her body into thirty pieces, and mailed the sections to random people. Eighteen of the deliveries were reported to authorities. Pieces is the story of the twelve that were never recovered, the possible reasons why their recipients never told anyone about their grotesque discoveries, and the cat-and-mouse game that developed between Dennis and the jaded reporter to whom he chose to document his sick game.
Featuring twenty-one different voices hailing from five different countries and eleven states, this anthology of Halloween-themed stories provides a wide-angle lens at what comprises the unique expanse on horror fiction today.
Edited by Rebecca and includes her story "Small Bites"
Come to life in seventeen stories of psychological horror, the residents of Rebecca Rowland’s universe dwell in the everyday realm of crime and punishment tempered with fixation and madness. There are no vampires, zombies, or magical beings here; instead, what lurk in this world are even more terrifying. These monsters don’t lurk under the bed or in the shadows, but they will unsettle you more than any supernatural being ever could.
