Jonathan Forrest presents a collection of twelve stories that reveal the darkest secrets and explore the depths of horror. In the novella Ronin Boy a boy without name wielding a katana is sentenced to a place of torture and torment beyond imagination. He must now navigate his way through a world of madness, an ever-changing nightmare landscape where the laws of reality no longer exist. In Secret Spitters Society three eleven-year-old friends sneak into a grandmothers wine cellar and invent a drinking game. Each boy tells a secret and takes a sip of wine. If the secret is false, the teller spits out the wine; if the secret is true, the boy swallows. What other secrets reside in the cellar? A hellish monstrosity lurks on the far side of a tall fence; a warped madness compels a child to venture deep into a sandstorm; and unspeakable terrors transpire within a cornfield as Forrest weaves random slices of life into an emotional presentation that lures the minds eye into a fascinating and complex darkness where Vile Little Things await.

The Ronin's Mistress is a brilliant new twist on the fabled tale of the 47 Ronin, from Laura Joh Rowland--an author with "a painter's eye for the minutiae of court life [and] a politician's ear for intrigue." (The New York Times). Japan, 1703. On a snowy night, 47 warriors murder the man at the center of the scandal that turned them from samurai into masterless ronin two years before. Clearly this was an act of revenge--but why did they wait so long? And is there any reason they should not immediately be ordered to commit ritual suicide? Sano Ichiro, demoted from Chamberlain to his old post as Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People, has mere days to solve the greatest mystery of samurai legend--while his own fortunes hang in the balance.
