When the superheroes who swore to uphold peace turn against each other in a sudden and violent war, mankind is forced to make a terrible choice. In a desperate bid for survival, a weapon was released into the atmosphere that was meant to reduce living gods into ordinary humans. A nonviolent solution. It was called Dust. It almost worked. Most became human, but a small percentage of the superhuman community experience terrible and unforeseen side effects. They became living nightmares, trapped in madness or corrupted by their gifts. Afflicted abominations, consumed by their powers, who stalk the earth with shattered minds and broken bodies. Contained within is a collection of 11 short stories following the survivors of this terrible event. Ordinary men and women, haunted by the corrupted reflections of those who once swore to protect them. A broad range of modern Horror / Supernatural genres are explored in this collection. Many of these stories contain descriptions of violence, body horror, and adult language. Cover by Bailie Rosenlund bailierosenlund.com
