READERS BEWARE You are about to set foot on a bizarre adventure, a funny fantastical one filled with demonic animals. The first few stories are light, more about the giggles, but be warned. As you read further, the dark creepy side will sneak up on you. Within this entertaining tome you will find spiders, snakes, sheep, wolves, manatees, hummingbirds, squirrels, and many more!

There's an animal in all of us, fighting to be released. For some, it is easy to contain, hidden behind a veneer of respectability. For others, it takes more work to show a human face to the world. And then there are those who simply pray that it never gets out...

Filled with monstrous entities from the deep, both real and fabled, and sailed by marauding pirate ships with bloodthirsty souls looking to plunder and destroy. The great briny blue of the ocean is one of the most terrifying places imaginable. With almost three quarters of the Earth covered by sea, this vast expanse is home to myriad horrors. From hundreds of fathoms down, or lurking just beneath the surface, to brazenly navigating the nautical domain, these deadly threats are just waiting for unsuspecting souls to take to the waters. So come on, take the plunge. Dive on in. The water is fine. What exists within, it is another story.

Triggers. Everybody has them. Some traumatic life event. A phobia. Something brought on by anxiety. Fear. Loneliness. Desperation. Desire. Rage. Memories. Hatred. It's how we react to them that shapes us. Will they break us, leave us curled up and lost, helpless and hopeless? Or will they be the catalyst in making us snap? Triggered to run riot and rampage? Different triggers engender different responses. They can be completely anticipated, they can be unexpected. They can be mystifying. They can be horrifying. They can be deadly. Sometimes they can be switched on, never to be turned off. Everybody has triggers. Anything can set them off. CAUTION Some books come labelled with a trigger warning to advise readers that the material contained within has the potential to generate unpleasant responses. This book however, has no such thing. Instead, the whole work in its entirety is one great big trigger warning.

The End Has Finally Arrived... We all knew it was coming...an Apocalypse to end all things. But how exactly will the world end? Will it be slow or fast? Will it be a zombie plague? A nuclear holocaust? Death from above? Or perhaps something less predictable, like a shocking discovery in an ancient tomb or an unnamed evil stalking us in the shadows? We asked several talented horror writers to deliver their best Dystopian fiction and Apocalyptic stories, and we were horrified by what they predicted. So open up these pages at your own peril, for the End is nigh, and you may discover it is more terrifying than you could have ever imagined!
