Things That Never Happened

by Scott Edelman

Overview

Eight-time Bram Stoker Award-nominated writer Scott Edelman's stories have been called "utterly uncompromising," "smooth and inviting, colorful and vivid," and "horror writing at its best"—and after reading his new collection Things That Never Happened, you'll come away agreeing his fiction is "captivating, alarming, astonishing."

Stories in this collection include:
• "A Judgment Call for Judgment Day" — Journey back to a World War II battlefield where an angel and demon debate the worth of a soldier's soul
• "Survival of the Fittest" — Travel to the Galapagos Islands with a haunted man who tries to exorcise his past
• "It's Only a Story" — Celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein in a tale that gives a Stranger Things vibe to that long-ago night when Mary Shelley birthed The Creature
• And many more!

Gathering 13 of Edelman's eeriest tales from a 40-year career, Things That Never Happened truly—as has been said of his writing—"autopsies the mess of the beating human heart."
