Keep. It. Simple. (I say...)

Strangers awaken to find themselves bound and tethered. Whereabouts unknown. A mysterious Host eyes them like prizes, and taunts them like animals in a cage. Nine travelers as different in age and background as they are in experience and temperament. They’ll be thrown together in a twisted and macabre party of sorts, a coerced evening of storytelling, designed to entertain their peculiar and poetic Host, some unseen entity, and each other.

In the tradition of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Bradbury’s Illustrated Man, and Palahniuk’s Haunted, what you are about to read is a collection of stories tied together somehow, maybe, and intended, hopefully, to entertain.
