Divining the difference between reality and the fantastic may not be as simple as it seems. Because the world you think you know may not actually exist... STORIES is a collection of six short stories loosely based on legends and folklore. Each is set in a modern context, giving the reader an unusual take that yields interesting insight on these traditional tales.
The Snow Woman: a spirit in Japanese folklore who traps people in snowstorms, then uses her icy breath to leave them frost-coated corpses.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman: a figure from Japanese urban legends who, mutilated by her husband, returns as a vengeful soul.
Mare: an evil spirit from Germanic and Slavic folklore that rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on nightmares.
Doppelgänger: the double of a living person that sometimes appears when death is near.
The Bell Witch: a poltergeist that haunted the 19th-century Bell family in Tennessee.
Ondine: the supernatural heroine who tells her husband, I shall be the shoes on your feet...I shall be the breath in your lungs, with the caveat that, should he deceive her, he will die. Each story ends with a twist the reader may not see coming...
