Kaleen Rae and Other Weird Tales David Brian

Take a walk into darkness with nine tales of the weird and macabre... Just how far would you go to win someone's heart? Would you gamble with your soul? Jonathon is a good man, but he struggles with body issues and bad skin. When he meets the beautiful Belinda he realizes he would do anything to be with her. With no other options, he turns to the mysterious Kaleen Rae in the solitary Gothic house on the far side of the meadows. In the Welsh countryside, a werewolf is spurred into action by an alluring scent. But is it ever wise to hunt in daylight? For Pvt. Eddie Coates, surviving Afghanistan is looking increasingly unlikely. The few remaining members of his unit are pinned down under heavy fire. All seems lost, and then they hear wings beating in the darkness... A troubled youth plots his revenge. But what price would you pay for retribution? Hellish demons, haunted houses, shape-shifting monsters, and genetic mutations, make up this unsettling collection, which also includes the original short story version of The Strange Case at Misty Ridge.
