Synopsis

THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR.

The acclaimed SPLIT SCREAM series returns with its eight volume, featuring two CURSED novelettes!

"Passing Glance" by Sonora Taylor

Washington, D.C.'s sprawling and storied Moore Mansion is built upon intrigue and secrecy, playing host to both political elites and the merely curious alike. Its labyrinthine rooms and passageways, festooned in eclectic art and mysterious mirrors, captivate all who explore them.

 

Dylan arrives at the mansion for her friend's 30th birthday party at a crossroads of her own: adrift, eager to reunite with old friends, and seeking to rekindle a long-held lust for one of the group. But tonight she will discover the true terrifying secrets of Moore Mansion: a house built to be a city, and one which unfolds like a trap.

"Lash Egg" by Matthew Pritt

The people of the Doe's country walk in the Balance, attuned to the land and guided by their benevolent nature spirit. For Ben, a refugee who narrowly escaped the madness-infested Bear's country to the south, the Doe remains a mystery. Ben has never heard the Doe speak, and marvels at his neighbors' firsthand experiences with his new home's Protector. Fortunately his ten-year-old daughter, Lydia, doesn't share his struggles, and adapts to life in the Doe with ease. 

 

But when a mysterious wasting plague attacks the local wildlife, Ben suspects he is the cause of it. As the plague spreads and threatens to collapse the Doe's entire ecosystem, Ben must discover how he has offended the Doe, or risk losing the only safe place he and his daughter have ever known.
