Flesh and Shadow

Seven Tales of Primal Dread

By: Tiyo Burris

Narrated by: Neal Skorupa

Unlock the ancient fears that lurk just beyond the veil.

In Flesh and Shadow, prepare to journey into a darkness both visceral and unseen, where the boundaries of reality fray and the human form is terrifyingly mutable. This chilling collection features seven reimagined public domain horror classics, each twisted into a fresh nightmare for the modern age.

Within these stories, you will encounter:

• The curse of a predatory god that infects the very essence of man.
• A cosmic signal from beyond the stars, promising madness to those who listen.
• The desperate, illicit trade of body and bone, where the living prey on the dead.
• An invisible presence that drains sanity and life, feeding on the unsuspecting.
• A smile that refuses to die, clinging to the spectral face of vengeance.
• A seductive, aristocratic evil that thrives on blood and desires more than just life.
• The horrors of the high seas, where a dark, dripping entity makes an inescapable berth its own.

From the chilling whispers of the unseen to the grotesque transformations of the body, Flesh and Shadow delves into the primal fears that reside in our deepest subconscious. These are not just ghost stories; they are explorations of the monstrous within and without, perfect for fans of atmospheric dread, cosmic terror, and visceral psychological horror.
