De: Charles Welch

Narrado por: Jeff Heisler

A young man wakes in his basement. His face and arms are scratched and cut. His clothes are blood stained and trails of blood flow across the basement floor to his very large freezer. Though he can’t recall what happened to him, he knows something horrible lies waiting in the freezer. The idea of opening the freezer’s lid terrify him, but he also knows his mother will return home at any moment and she may be the scariest thing of all.

A doctor of Psychiatry knows a coworker’s behavior has altered significantly after receiving a dark necklace in the mail. She also knows this necklace is very familiar to her, though she can’t remember why. When her coworker begins suffering memory loss related to her mother, the good doctor realizes she must do some digging into work files to understand the evil things hiding under the surface. Once she does, what she uncovers is enough to shake her to her very core. The secrets that are exposed are far more personal than she is prepared to comprehend.

Kalen McDonald is the famed Killer of Killers. He is a man who gets flashes of insight in his mind related to murderous fiends and he’s made it his mission in life to eliminate these evil predators. So why has his latest vision convinced him he must kidnap an innocent family man? Kalen knows the only path forward is to follow through and see the mystery through to its end. As he knows all too well, the things that seem clear cut are usually the most confusing of all.

Coming Up Short 9 is a new collection of tales of the macabre and the mysterious by the author of the award-winning Killer of Killers series.

Warning: These stories will keep you up late at night, nervously chewing your fingernails, cringing at every little creak of your home. Our reality may not be what you have been led to believe.

For fans of The Twilight Zone, the Coming Up Short series will be familiar, and twisted territory!
