From the Mist

A collection of easy to read poems of love, death, horror and fantasy.Due to a human study gone awry, Zachary Dunbar has just resigned from his position as a research psychologist at Harvard University. Before resigning he developed an influential theory, Trait Theory. While critics claim that Trait Theory is nothing more than modern day eugenics, Zachary notes that the distinguishing point between his theory and eugenics is the importance of the high stress situation, both for causing the trait to be inheritable and for activating the trait in the individual. Windsor Thurmond, an 80 year old billionaire philanthropist, believes that he has inherited a horrific trait. Ready to identify an heir-apparent, he tasks Zachary with finding a family member who has conclusively not inherited his trait -- a trait that he swears he has never acted upon.
