The writers in this anthology came up with creative takes on the theme. There are twenty-one stories in this book, including several flash fiction pieces. Some are horror-light, some are more devious and dark. There is even a touch of the gross-out, and a hint of humour in certain tales found here. From quiet horrors to chilling nightmares these tales give new meaning to being creative.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONTRIBUTING AUTHORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Michelle Tang, M.C.
