OBSESSIONS: Desires and emotions that can't be reasoned with. With these fourteen stories and one poem, prepare to enter a world of darkness, a world where desires and needs are twisted into something so monstrous not even death can end them. * In a time of war, a badly wounded soldier tries to heal for the sake of the children. * A fifteen hundred pound man with an appetite that know no bounds. * In a rigged contest for a camper, a crooked promoter learns what real determination is. * A demented woman believes she's pregnant by Satan. Alone in a crumbling tenement, she's about to deliver a child. * A server at a pizza restaurant takes his desire for neatness to the ultimate level. * What would you give to have your dead child back? One father is about to find out. * If you had a chance to be God, would you take it? What if you had no choice? Stories included in this collection: In the Cold, Dark Time / JOE R. LANSDALE; Woodgrains / JOHN SHIRLEY; Crispy Notes / NICHOLAS ROYLE; Topsy / F. PAUL WILSON; Franklin and the Can of Whup-Ass / BILL CRIDER; The Cut / L. Bradley Law; Lady Madonna / NANCY HOLDER; Empathy / GLEN VASEY; The Bookman / CHET WILLIAMSON; Richard’s Head / AL SARRANTONIO; Down Home / EDWARD BRYANT; Heart of Gold / NINA KIRIKI HOFFMAN; Sanctuary of the Shrinking Soul / ELIZABETH MASSIE; The Second Most Beautiful Woman in the World / A. R. MORLAN; Alone of His Kind / DAVID B. SILVA
