    About Beneath a Pale Sky

    Beneath a Pale Sky collects eight stories of horror, including two original novelettes, that will take you from the high-security ward of a mental hospital to the top of a Ferris Wheel on an ocean pier. These stories will bury you in the rubble of an earthquake, pull back the veil on a soul’s journey into the afterlife, and turn a small midwestern town into the secret domain of cross-dimensional gods.

    Combining old-school horror with the modern weird, Beneath a Pale Sky will take you places you’ve never been before, and show you sights you won’t soon forget.
