Dread Softly - E-book - ePub

A woman struggles to outsmart the demon who bargained for her father's soul. An elderly shut-in with a monstrous secret is tormented by a door-to-door salesman. Six-eyed creatures congregate on the ceiling of a remote bungalow, puzzling a newly rescued tabby cat. An imp's loyalties are torn between a vulnerable child and the god of dreams. In her debut horror collection, award-winning author Caryn Larrinaga spreads her nightmares under your feet.
