    Reader Reviews:

    “...unique perspectives and wonderful and horrible possibilities. Definitely take this one on vacation for reading around the campfire.” –Sandy Penny

    “Terrific read. The horror pieces, while not usually my cup of tea, were clever and spooky. The science fiction stories, which were the reason I bought the anthology, were also clever and well-written.” –Steve M. Fye

    “I missed Rod Sterling terribly, not anymore! I think he has been reborn in this author. Fabulous insight and intriguing ideas that keep you reading.” –Teri Anderson

    “Short and sweet, with an ending I didn’t expect. I’ll be on the look out for more from this author.” –Lia Cole

    “Master of the surprise ending. Don’t quit reading until the end.” –Alan

    “R. W. Van Sant has a very unique outlook and writing style. I recommend this book for its great imaginative storytelling.” –Kathleen

    Author

    R.W. Van Sant

    RW Van Sant is a lifelong writer, seeker of knowledge, and author of the recently published novel Scales and Feathers: A Desert Dinosaur Beach Party—a satirical, science fiction thriller romp set in the wilds of New Mexico.RW enjoys writing in the fields of dark supernatural fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and thought-provoking science fiction, focusing on socially conscious, detailed world-building and mind-bending, character-driven stories, because he finds pursuing social consciousness and responsibility in a modern, realistic setting mundane, boring, and frequently overdone. Dark fantasy, horror, science fiction, satire, and supernatural thrillers are more his style, especially if his readers learn something while along for the ride.Drawing on his lifelong pursuit for higher education and many misspent years practicing archaic medieval skills, RW utilizes his knowledge of history, science, and political science as a novelist for world-building and creating realistic, character-driven storylines. His previous novels include a diverse range of settlings, genres, and plots including Unity Captives —a dystopian science fiction adventure with a strong social justice message, Teller’s Cove—a supernatural horror with Lovecraftian undertones, the I-Factor—a mind-bending supernatural thriller set on a distance colony world, numerous short stories, roleplaying game books, and educational materials, including lesson plans.He has a strong interest in space exploration, having taken classes in astrophysics, along with researching cryptids, myths and legends, the supernatural, and, of course, sea monsters.When not writing, RW indulges in his hobbies of puppy pampering, graphic arts, and mediocre guitar playing.
