Strange how something so innocent as a discarded chair left on the roadside, a baby left on firehouse steps or an exquisite ankle tattoo can lead you down twisted paths to places that will never appear in any road atlas. The stories offered herein will take you there if you let them. Along the way you'll meet a corpse sporting a shiny red button grafted into its arm. A magician determined to pierce the veil and return from the dead. A medical implant that cures all diseases, with only one, tiny flaw. Or, a man so terrified of his own shadow he'll go to insane lengths to be rid of it once and for all. Stare straight ahead. Try not to react. There are more trips than these ahead of you. Each one stranger than the one before with no signposts, no familiar landmarks to show you the way. But please, a word of caution before you take your first step-hold on to your imagination. Let it loose and who knows how far it may take you? And for God's sake never forget, the return trip is always harder the deeper in you go....

NO FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD LIKES BEING SMOTHERED BY HIS MOTHER- ESPECIALLY IF SHE'S DEAD. So, yeah. Benji has issues. He's a fifteen-year-old computer geek... His mom just died from cancer... His dad is loony with grief... Everyone at school expects him to snap any second. And Rhianna-the school witch who never talks to anyone-stops him at lunch with condolences and a business card that reads: ThruTheLight.com-Re-connect with loved ones who've passed on. You can't really click on a website and talk to the dead-can you? "Hello, honey. How's my little Benji today?" "Mom?" Maybe everyone's right and he is cracking up. But then her sweater appears like magic on his desk all folded and smelling of her perfume... Someone lays out his school clothes like she used to... His best friend Tractor gets possessed and something shoves Rhianna down the stairs... Then it gets worse. Much, much worse. Because on the other side an evil much older than the time of witches is getting impatient and wants to come ThruTheLight. To stay.
