Synopsis

For the first time, the twenty-two stories found in Pandora’s Children books 1-5 and Dark Interludes have been combined into two easy-to-navigate volumes. Each book also contains a bonus story at the end. This collection contains two dozen dark stories, tales where men become monsters, monsters become men, and no one is ever truly safe. You will find ghosts, demons and monsters; evil men, madmen and broken men; a wood-chipper, Santa Claus and yes, a handful of dentists. Each book contains twelve disturbing, provocative tales which will keep you thinking long after you’re done reading. In Volume 1, you will find: The Devil’s Toothache- A late night emergency visit changes the course of a young dentist’s life.
