A serial arsonist encounters a copycat with a deadly secret ("Consumed"). A terrible force stalks an isolated North Dakota widower ("The Encroacher"). Father and son battle for survival at the lonely apex of "The Eighteenth Floor" (an honorable mention for *Best Horror of the Year, Volume 1*). A thru-hiker on the Appalachian Trail finds himself watched by something in the forest canopy ("Trail Angel"). A mail carrier's route changes for the worse in "Anypeople". These five short fiction phantasms await the reader in CINDERED SOULS, author Jonathan C. Gillespie's first-ever horror collection.



"The Encroacher" is still available in free audio, at the time of this publication, via a well-regarded podcast site (see jonathancg.net for more details), and "The Eighteenth Floor" was once published in print, but this book features all-new versions, revised for content--and even better quality.
