By Joel Arnold
Welcome to the deep north woods. Here you'll meet:
A father whose intense longing for his dead son leads to disturbing consequences.
A group of college students tubing down a river through a burned forest who encounter terrifying creatures.
A man seeking redemption for a sinful past through the skill of a tattoo artist.
A Cambodian-American teen who will fit in with the locals at any cost.
A woman who finds a bizarre solace in a rare pearl.
These, plus a dozen other stories from the febrile imagination of Joel Arnold, will keep you up long into the night with horror, suspense, and mystery. Includes the award winning stories Mississippi Pearl and Some Things Don't Wash Off.
