A refugee flees a crumbling civilization and finds a new life among a forest of mysteries. A pilot fires up his protojet, eager to teach the onboard A.I. how to understand humans. At the edge of the new world, a storyteller finds rest at an inn for an odd price: three tales from his life. An investment banker hosts a holiday dinner for his firm's top clients, ready to poach them with the perfect pitch at 8:45. Three fifth-grade friends celebrate the summer's end with one last sleepover... as an ancient being rises from the woods to claim them. Grim Horizons is a cerebral collection, a blend of fantasy, horror, and futuristic fiction. Taken one by one, or as a feast altogether, these dark tales are a treat for the twisted mind.
