DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS

The world is a dark place, even in daylight. DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS features fifteen tales of horror from the subtle to the extreme. The characters are ordinary people who are ripped from their daily routines into a dark world.

DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS is filled with characters who are one step from the light and a normal existence, and because of this, their world will never be the same. In "The Eye Of The Beholder," Dr. Gareth Troy empathizes with his tortured patients' disfigurements a little too much. For Dave in "Hungry For More," the eating habits of Americans are nothing like those of the people in England. In "Acceptable Losses," Captain John Clelland has struck the worst of bargains for the lives of allied soldiers. In "Runway Three-seven," Neal is forced to land his crippled light aircraft on a runway that can’t possibly exist.
