Tesseracts (Paperback)

Tesseracts Thirteen invites you to delve into literature's shadowy side!

This, the newest and most unusual of the popular and award-winning Tesseracts anthologies, utilizes the mysterious and bewitching number 'thirteen' to explore a new realm of innovative, thought-provoking and disturbing fiction. Award-winning authors and editors Nancy Kilpatrick and David Morrell have unearthed twenty-three stories of horror and dark fantasy that reflect a melange of Canada's most exciting known and about-to-be known writers.

The young, but not always innocent - ghosts; multiple births; comic book characters come to life
Romance gone terribly wrong - curses; mournful spirits; bringing back the dead
Creepy and twisted realities - mummies; windigos; post-apocalyptic Canada
