Ante Mortem

Ante Mortem – pre-death. That space between drawing the first breath, and the last… otherwise known as life.Eleven stories for the eleventh hour. Snuggle in tight, have a glass of wine, light a candle. These stories have been given new life, and a new home; they’ve almost travelled this road before. Something always held them back, but now together, they’ve broken free.You may want to lock your doors, you never know when a starving doll, a wicked college student, a zombie horde or ghostly children will come to visit… Don’t get too comfortable, though, there’s always someone waiting to replace you. And definitely, absolutely, watch out for the pretty fish in the sewer…Relax. The light at the end of the tunnel will wait. We here in the morgue like having people stop by, and you really didn’t think we’d let you go so easily. Did you?Stories by Aaron Polson, David Dunwoody, Natalie L.
