An unpredictable, poignant, and captivating tale for readers of all ages, by the critically acclaimed author of Only Forward.
There are a million stories in the world. Most are perfectly ordinary.
This one... isn't.
Hannah Green actually thinks her story is more mundane than most. But she's about to discover that the shadows in her life have been hiding a world where nothing is as it seems: that there's an ancient and secret machine that converts evil deeds into energy, that some mushrooms can talk - and that her grandfather has been friends with the Devil for over a hundred and fifty years, and now they need her help.
In this chilling tale of Internet horror, a friendly freelance computer technician finds himself gradually drawn in to a seedier side of the Web. When he stumbles across a photograph of a female coworker on a less-than-reputable website, it's clear she had not volunteered for the modeling position, the anger apparent in both her facial expression and body language. There is only one explanation: her boyfriend forced her to do it.
As the man fights back his anger and annoyance, he contemplates his options. Visitors to the website demand more photos. He struggles to tell Jeanette, the reluctant model, what he has seen. Finally, he decides he must set out to rescue Jeanette from what seems to be an increasingly perilous situation.
A masterful short story from an acclaimed author of horror and science fiction, this tale will leave chills running down your spine.
"Stellar...Smith proves that effective horror fiction depends as much on solid grounding in the ordinary as on the evocation of the extraordinary...One of the best writers of short horror fiction to emerge in the 1990s."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
