Sadistic Shorts: Tales from the Devil's Drawers

Sadistic Shorts - Tales from the Devil's Drawers Don't look out the window and, for goodness sake, don't open the door. Keep it tightly shut and bolted and...no, wait, perhaps you might need to escape in a hurry from something-or someone-already inside. Perhaps it is too late, for here are horrors too gruesome to behold alone on a stormy night, when the lights are flickering and the tree limbs are scratching against the shutters.  A collection of stories of lies and deception; of cold-blooded killers; hot-tempered sailors; masochistic victims, and grotesque monsters from the past will bring your worst fears slithering after you as you scramble to get away. Here are sharp knives, last words, deeply-digging shovels, broken glass, wrecked cars, torn bodies, and shattered lives. Here are hellish demons, witches, ghosts, creatures of the night, strangers wreaking destruction, and the ones closest to you that you never saw coming. Here are twisted endings to keep you forever hoping for the dawning light of a new day. It may never come, for here are... Dig Set Spike Block Serve, Ground Rate, and Retention by William G. Sells Jigsaw, and The Summoning by Michael Koogler Liana by T.J. Lord Liar by Dan Otsuki Adding it Up by V.K. Schilling The White Squirrel by Jed Q. Peterson  The Audition by Dennis W.

Leaf

<p>"Here we go again, with, 'The trees are disappearing, the trees are disappearing!' Come on, Leaf, no one else believes this fairytale except you and your hero father. Look around us. We don't see anything but trees." Everyone believes that Leaf and his visionary father have lost their minds when they say that people are cutting down the trees-the primordial, sturdy trees that have sheltered their colony throughout the ages and stood strong against all enemies. Even Leaf's principal has tried to get him to doubt his father, who has sailed far beyond their tree home and seen the devastation in the mysterious Lands Unknown. But the humans aren't the leaf colony's only concern, they quickly realize. When their ancient enemies, the ants, attack their tree home with three massive armies (complete with wolf-spiders, leaf-cutting caterpillars, and hornets as air support), the leaf colony must decide who they should believe, who they should follow, and whether they should stay and defend their families, community, and ancient homeland. "It's a dangerous world out there, young Eric's son," he's told, but twelve-year-old Leaf and his friends Garland, Twig, and Nut, along with Leaf's nemesis, Shady and his cohorts Rake and Stump, must work together and use their wits, their swords, and their bows and arrows to help their colony make the right decisions and battle the ants. Leaf has always dreamed of having an adventure like this, but it is one with unknown dangers and unlikely friends around every bloom in a branch, every bend in a brook, and every twig boat in the bay. As his mother and father, friends, and entire colony get caught up in fighting the ants, will they make the right decision-or will the ants, and humans, take away everything they have always counted on? Join Leaf and his friends as they experience the adventure of a lifetime, discover the true meaning of family, friendship, and community, and help nurture their forest realm in this exciting adventure by author William Sells.</p>
