In "Prisons of Flesh and Stone," a young girl makes an unholy bargain with an Ancient sorcerer to protect her sister.

Slaves of God
Travis is an ordinary teenager eking out a dreary existence in a quiet midwestern town -- until one day his body starts to fade. He begins to experience a strange form of vampirism which compels him to draw nourishment from the lives of others, or else slowly fade from existence altogether. Horrified by his nature, he sets off across country for one last road trip thrill, resolved to commit suicide in a final blaze of glory. On the way he meets Pete, another of the afflicted, who is running from demons of his own. Together they head across the heartland of America, pursued by a nameless assassin who methodically exterminates young people of their kind due to the threat they represent to humanity. But dying is the least of their worries: they are desperately trying to find a way to combat their natures, lest they lose their grip on existence completely.

We Who are About to Die
Not every hero survives intact. All heroes pay a cost, some even the ultimate sacrifice. But just what is their ultimate sacrifice? WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE examines that theme of ultimate sacrifice as key to heroism. Not only the willingness to sacrifice all, but the act of sacrificing for the greater 'cause' - whatever that may be. Death can be a cost of heroism, but it might not be the greater loss come story's end. Heroes die. And they lose things greater than life: Family. Freedom. Innocence. Faith. Ideals. This is not just a book of dead heroes. Death does not have to mean defeat. Loss does not always equal failure. These stories span the spectrum, stories of apotheosis and of nihilism ...
