From Tyler Jones, author of Burn the Plans (an Esquire Best Horror of the Year book), Midas, and Heavy Oceans, comes a terrifying new collection of horror and supernatural suspense.

A dying father constructs an elaborate plan to prove the existence of an afterlife. Two young friends uncover a mysterious artifact at the ocean's edge. A vicious gangster sends a henchman on a twisted journey to find the true Ark of the covenant. A man awakens one day with a task--to provide strangers with exactly what they need. A conference for the families of missing people becomes the ground for a disturbing encounter. The ghost of a horse that walks upright, a cryptid hunting group investigating the clearest evidence they've yet seen, and a lonely bus driver giving rides to unexpected passengers.

You'll find these tales and more in this hypnotic and unsettling collection that plumbs the depths of the human psyche to present terrors that leave you disquieted and disturbed, and asking the question: When life burns to the ground, who is holding the match?
