Each story has a great twist you won't see coming. All explore the human condition in novel ways. Some delve into the darker side. Crime and murder feature strongly as does betrayal, but there's also a dash of humour and a sprinkling of love.
The half-story at the end is a bonus. It's 'The Night Before Christmas' and it leaves Emily with a choice - and it's not an easy one! Read her story and decide what you want to happen.
